Primates: Xenotrichidae
The single species, P. varonai, is known only
from Cuba. The largest of the Antillean monkeys, with a body wieght of approximately 12
kg, it has been suggested that this animal may have been partially terrestrial. There are
currently no pertinent radiocarbon dates that bear on the question of when P. varonai
became extinct. Closely related to Xenothrix of Jamaica and Antillothrix
of Hispaniola.
