Cartelles is an extinct genus ofNew World monkey. Fossils of this species were found inBahia, Brazil, within theToca da Boa Vista caves, and were originally described as belonging to another extinctAtelidae genus,Protopithecus.[1]

Description

[edit]

Cartelles was a very large monkey, and is considered the largest member of its family to have ever existed, at a weight of up to 24 kg (53 lb).[2] Unlike most living New World Monkeys,Cartelles probably spent a good deal of its time on the ground, though it was also as proficient in arboreal locomotion as its smaller living relatives. It lived as recently as15,000 BP.

Fossils ofCartelles were found in 1992 and were originally assigned to the genusProtopithecus. However, subsequent re-examination of its skeleton have showed many distinct cranial and postcranial features. Elements of the skull indicate that its closest living relatives arehowler monkeys, and it is considered a member of the subfamilyAlouattinae. It is uncertain ifCartelles could have howled like living howler monkeys, however.[citation needed]

The genus was named in honor of palaeontologistCástor Cartelle, who described the original fossil material.[citation needed]
