Panamacebus is an extinct genus of monkey known from the Early Miocene ( Hemingfordian in the NALMA classification) of central Panama. [1] Panamacebus transitus is the only and type species of this genus.
Together with Paralouatta marianae from Cuba, it is the oldest known New World monkey of North America. [2] Fossils of Panamacebus, a left upper first molar and lower premolar, [3] were uncovered from the Las Cascadas Formation, of which tuffs were analyzed providing an age of 20.93 ± 0.17 Ma, [4] of the Panama Canal Zone.
