Mohanamico

Mohanamico is an extinct genus of New World monkeys from the Middle Miocene (Laventan in the South American land mammal ages; 13.8 to 11.8 million years ago-Mya).

Due to the relatively few material found of Mohanamico, the placement of the genus is not certain and four possible families have been proposed by different authors, Atelidae, Callitrichidae, Pitheciidae or Aotidae.

[6] Some authors place Mohanamico in the Callitrichidae,[7] possibly related to the Callimico clade, based especially on its taller incisors and canines, large p2, and broader and longer trigonid in proportion to the talonid.

[11] The Honda Group, and more precisely the "Monkey Beds", are the richest site for fossil primates in South America.

[12] It has been argued that the monkeys of the Honda Group were living in habitat that was in contact with the Amazon and Orinoco Basins, and that La Venta itself was probably seasonally dry forest.
