Resumen:
The southern parts of South America have yielded
an important collection of a growing number of
fossil platyrrhines, but the records so far have
come exclusively from the Argentine Patagonia.
No fossil primates have been found previously in
southern Chile until the discovery of an isolated
talus described below. This specimen was collected
in February, 2000, at the locality of Alto Rı´o
Cisnes, Aisen, Chile, during a paleontological
expedition of the Facultad de Ciencias
Naturales, Sede Esquel (Universidad Nacional de
la Patagonia San Juan Bosco). It is the second
fossil primate ever found in Chile, after Chilecebus
from the central part of the country.
