Английская Википедия:Homunculus (genus)
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Automatic taxobox Homunculus is an extinct genus of New World monkey that lived in Patagonia during the Miocene. Two species are known: Homunculus patagonicus[1][2][3] and Homunculus vizcainoi, which are known from material found in the Santa Cruz Formation in the far south of Argentina.[4]
H. patagonicus was a robustly built, quadrupedal primate, with body mass estimates varying between Шаблон:Cvt based on different techniques.[5]
Some authors consider Killikaike blakei to be a junior synonym for H. patagonicus,[6][4] but others consider the species distinct.[7]
While some studies have regarded Homunculus as a crown group platyrhine and a member of the family Pitheciidae, other studies have regarded it as a stem-group platyrhine outside any modern group, which is supported by the morphology of its nasal turbinates, which are dissimilar to those of crown-group platyrhines.[8]
Homunculus is suggested to have been primarily frugivorous based on dental wear.[9]
