“…Although initial finds were assigned to Hispanopithecus laietanus, after the recovery of more abundant material, Dryopithecus crusafonti was distinguished (Begun, 1992); it was recently transferred to the genus Hispanopithecus by Moyà- Solà et al (2009a). After its description, this taxon has been accepted (Begun, 2002b;Casanovas-Vilar et al, 2011;Pickford, 2012), questioned (Andrews et al, 1996), or formally synonymized with H. laietanus (Ribot et al, 1996). On the basis of dental differences between the Can Poncic 1 sample and those of H. laietanus from later Vallesian localities (Begun, 1992), a distinct species status is favored here, following Alba et al (2012c).…”

“…At the same time, several shared-derived dental features suggest that they belong to a single genus, even though the lack of cranial material from Can Poncic makes the generic attribution to Hispanopithecus somewhat provisional, and some authors maintain its original assignment to Dryopithecus (Pickford, 2012). The partial mandible from Teuleria del Firal (Vidal, 1913a, b;Woodward, 1914), traditionally attributed to Dryopithecus fontani (Harrison, 1991;Andrews et al, 1996;Ribot et al, 1996), is also included here in the hypodigm of H. crusafonti (Begun, 1992;Casanovas-Vilar et al, 2011;Alba et al, 2012c), given some dental differences relative to D. fontani from France and several resemblances to the few lower teeth available from Can Poncic 1.…”

Received: 26 July 2013 / Accepted: 5 December 2013 / Available online: 25 February 2014 Abstract During the last decade, new discoveries in several Iberian basins, together with the description of previously unpublished finds, have significantly increased the recorded paleodiversity of fossil Primates (Mammalia: Euarchonta) in the Iberian Peninsula. Here we provide an updated compendium of the primate fossil record in Iberia during the Cenozoic and further summarize the changes in primate paleodiversity through time, which are then analyzed in the light of changing climatic conditions. Thanks to favorable climatic conditions, the highest diversity of Iberian primates was reached during the Eocene, thus reflecting the radiation of both adapoids and omomyoids; only a single plesiadapiform genus is in contrast recorded in the Iberian Peninsula. Near the Eocene-Oligocene boundary, paleoclimatic changes led to a primate diversity crisis and other faunal changes, although two Iberian omomyoids survived the Grande Coupure. From the Middle Miocene onwards, catarrhine primates are recorded in the Iberian Peninsula. During the Middle and Late Miocene, they are represented by pliopithecoids and hominoids, restricted to NE Iberia. The Miocene hominoids from Iberia are of utmost significance for understanding the Eurasian hominoid radiation and its role in the origins of the great-ape-and-human clade. Following the local extinction of these taxa during the early Late Miocene, due to progressively increased seasonality and concomitant changes in plant communities, cercopithecoids are also recorded in the Iberian Peninsula from the latest Miocene through the Plio-Pleistocene, although they finally became locally extinct, whereas hominoids are again represented by fossil humans during the Pleistocene.Keywords: Primates, Paleogene, Neogene, Quaternary, Taxonomy, Spain Resumen Durante la última década, nuevos descubrimientos en varias cuencas ibéricas, junto con la descripción de hallazgos previos inéditos, han incrementado significativamente la paleodiversidad de Primates fósiles (Mammalia: Euarchonta) registrada en la Península Ibérica.

“…12G should be given a different catalogue number than IPS1801. Certainly, this specimen has borne a label with this number for at least 15 years, and has appeared as such in print: Ribot et al (1996), in particular, referred to it as IPS1801, whereas Moyà-Solà & Köhler (1995) referred to it as IPMC1801 and Alba et al (2001) as CLL1801. As noted by Alba et al (submitted), the introduction of modern IPS catalogue numbers in the early 1990s generated some confusion in the literature.…”

Pickford (2012) inadvertently figured—with an incorrect catalogue number—an unpublished male upper canine of a hominoid primate from the Vallès-Penedès Basin (without specifying its locality of provenance), and attributed it to the Late Miocene fossil great ape Hispanopithecus laietanus. In fact, this canine comes from the Middle Miocene local stratigraphic series of Abocador de Can Mata (ACM), and shows greater similarities with Middle Miocene hominoids than with Hispanopithecus. Here we report the correct catalogue number of this specimen (IPS41714) and provide details on its locality of provenance (ACM/C4-Ap) as well as estimated age (11.9 Ma). On morphologic grounds, we further justify the attribution of this specimen to Dryopithecus fontani, previously recorded by craniodental remains at another ACM locality with the same age, and also correct several other minor errors.<br><br>Pickford (2012) involuntariamente figuró—con un número de catálogo erróneo—un canino superior masculino inédito de un primate hominoideo del la Cuenca del Vallès-Penedès (sin especificar su localidad de procedencia), y lo atribuyó al gran antropomorfo fósil del Mioceno Superior Hispanopithecus laietanus. En realidad, este canino procede de la serie estratigráfica local del Abocador de Can Mata (ACM), y muestra mayores similitudes com los hominoideos del Mioceno Medio que con Hispanopithecus.

Lingual incisor traits in modern hominoids and an assessment of their utility for fossil hominoid taxonomy

The morphology of the anterior dentition has received scant attention for purposes of taxonomic discrimination. Recently, however, lingual incisor morphology was used in differentiating several Miocene ape species and genera. This paper assesses the utility of this morphology for taxonomic discrimination by examining the nature and patterns of variation in lingual incisor morphology in extensive samples of modern chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and gibbons. This paper documents discrete morphological traits on the lingual side of incisors. Trait frequencies are used in univariate and multivariate analyses to examine the apportionment of variation in species, subspecies, and populations. A correlation between lingual incisor traits, tooth dimensions, and sex attempts to determine if such factors affect the manifestation of traits. Finally, the findings are applied to understanding patterns of variation in the Miocene hominids. The study demonstrates that: 1) lingual incisor morphology differs substantially between the hylobatids and great apes; 2) variation in incisor traits is high within species, and most of it is found within local populations; and 3) incisor traits do not correlate significantly with incisor dimensions or sex. Species and to some extent subspecies of extant hominoids can be differentiated statistically using lingual incisor traits, but the frequency of traits such as continuous or discontinuous cingulum, or the presence or absence of pillars, differentiates them. Given this pattern of variation, I argue that it is necessary to assume and document similar patterns of variation in Miocene apes before incisor morphology is used for differentiating taxa.
