| R. F. Kay and M. A. Cozzuol 2006 | Solimoea is a large platyrrhine monkey comparable in dental dimensions and proportions to extant Ateles spp. and Lagothrix lagotricha. The species is autapomorphicamong atelines in hav- ing an elongate and narrow m1, and P3e4 with three distinct rootsdtwo buccal and one lingual. Solimoea resembles crown atelines in having the following derived character states (with the primitive state for Atelidae in parentheses): m1 shearing crests moderately developed (vs. strong); m1 hypocristid weakly developed (vs. strong); P3e4 hypocones absent (vs. commonly present on one or both teeth); and P3e4 buccal cin- gulum weakly developed (vs. strong).However, Solimoea lacks a number of crown atelid synapomorphies (derived states for crown Atelinae in parentheses): m1 metaconid posteriorly dis- placed relative to the protoconid (vs. approximately transverse in crown atelines); m1 hypoconulid present as a swelling on a lingual terminus of a distal transverse ridge (vs. absent); pre-ento-cristid and postmetacristid fused to form a complete lingual wall for the talonid basin (vs. notched lingually). |
