Two new adapiform primate species from locality 41, Jebel Qatrani Formation, Egypt, are described. The first, here named Wadilemur elegans genus novum species novum (holotype Cairo Geological Museum 42211), consists of a right mandible with P3-M3. The second is assigned to Anchomomys milleri species novum, with a holotype Cairo Geological Museum 42842, that includes the right mandible with lower canine to M3. Both species are allied closely with genera that are known to be from Eocene deposits either in Europe, Tunisia, or the Sultanate of Oman (Arabia), thus enhancing earlier paleomagnetic evidence that locality 41 was deposited in Eocene times.
本文描述了来自埃及杰贝勒卡特拉尼组41号地点的两种新的灵长目原猴亚目动物。第一种，这里命名为优雅瓦迪狐猴（Wadilemur elegans），新属新种（正模标本为开罗地质博物馆42211），由带有P3 - M3的右下颌骨组成。第二种被归入米勒安科狐猴（Anchomomys milleri）新种，正模标本为开罗地质博物馆42842，包括带有下犬齿至M3的右下颌骨。这两个物种都与已知来自欧洲、突尼斯或阿曼苏丹国（阿拉伯半岛）始新世沉积物中的属密切相关，从而强化了早期的古地磁证据，即41号地点是在始新世时期沉积的。
