|---|---|---|
| R. F. Kay 1994 | Lagonimico is distinct from Santacrucian and Laventan Miocene platyrrhines
of similar body size, Carlocebus spp., Soriacebus spp., Neosaimiri spp. (includes Lauentiana), Mohanamico hershkouitzi (=Aotus dindensis), in the following combination of characters (upper dental characters unknown for Mohanamico, incomplete in some other taxa, see Table 1): premolar hypocones absent (vs. present); hypocones absent (vs. present); M, much smaller than M, or M, (vs. proportionally larger); lower incisors slightly elongate from cementoename1 junction to occlusal edge (i.e., high crowned) (vs. low-crowned in Neosaimiri and ?Carlocebus, similar to Mohanamico, very high crowned in Soriacebus); M,, hypoconulids are large (for platyrrhines) (vs. indistinct in all others). Lagonimico is larger than Callimico or any living callitrichine. Other comparisons presented below and listed in Table 1 confirm further the distinctness of Lagonimico from any living small-bodied platyrrhine. |
