In the field season of 1986, a nearly complete mandible was obtained from the middle Miocene deposits in the La Venta badlands, Colombia. It has been reported as a new species in thr world famous journal, Nature. This fossil is the first example of aliving New World monkey genus appearing in the Teriary rooks.
