| Branisella boliviana Hoffstetter, 1969 |
Branisella boliviana is an extinct species of New World monkey that lived in what is now Bolivia during the late Oligocene.[1] It is the oldest fossil New World Monkey discovered. It was found in Bolivia by the paleonthologist Leonardo Branisa, and it was named after him by Hoffstetter, the scientist who first described and classified it in 1969.[2]
