Saimiri annectens, originally described as Laventiana annectens and later as Neosaimiri annectens, is an
Etymology
The former genus name Laventiana refers to the La Venta site where the fossils have been found. The species epithet annectens is derived from the Latin words ad-, "towards" and nectens, "tying" or "connecting", in reference to the fossil's phylogenetic implications.[2]
Description
Fossils of Saimiri annectens, earlier described as Neosaimiri annectens and originally as Laventiana annectens,[1] were discovered at the Masato Site in the upper redbeds of the Villavieja Formation, that has been dated to the Laventan, about 13.5 Ma.[3]
It was described as an intermediate between
The lower molars of the fossil Saimiri resemble those of Dolichocebus, from Argentina.[6] An estimated body mass of 605 to 800 grams (1.334 to 1.764 lb) has been suggested for Saimiri annectens.[7][8]
