Chilecebus carrascoensis

Chilecebus carrascoensis is an extinct New World monkey that lived in what is now Chile, in the Abanico Formation, during the Early Miocene about 20 million years ago. It is the type species of the genus Chilecebus. Its body mass is estimated at about 1,000 grams, so it was a small monkey, roughly 35 ounces in weight. The Atelidae classification that lists it places it only as an incertae sedis member of the family, outside both living subfamilies, which reflects how uncertain its exact position among the New World monkeys remains. Little else is recorded in its short English article, which gives its location, age, size and the Abanico Formation setting, so this entry keeps to those facts rather than guessing at its diet, habits or relatives.
