Others have suggested that a single lineage of " Cantius " split, with one branch leading to " Copelemur ", one to " Pelycodus ", and one gradually acquiring a fused mandible, one of the few diagnostic features between " Cantius " and " Notharctus " . " Smilodectes " either derived from the lineage that became " Notharctus " or from the more southern " Copelemur " lineage . " Hesperolemur ", a middle Eocene taxa, has only recently been described and is currently thought to be an immigrant species.
