The Tarsiiformes are a clade of primates including the modern tarsiers of insular south-east Asia and their fossil relatives. Archicebus achilles, a potential basal member of the clade from the lower Eocene of China, resembles other tarsiiformes in its skull and dentition but resembles their sister group, the anthropoids, in certain features of the foot anatomy (Ni et al. 2013).
