Note that the anterior pairs of teeth in Teilhardina are large. Having enlarged anterior incisors seems to be a common feature of homomyids, as is the possession of small canines. Also notice on the upper molars the rather prominent cusps, which presumably relate to the insecivory of early primates; as the anthropoid radiation progressed the cusps on molars become much lower and rounded, suggesting the increased emphasis in feeding on leaves and fruits rather than visual predation on insects.
