“…The alpha taxonomy of the extinct South American procyonids is still unresolved. Large intraspecific variation has been recognized in extant procyonids (Rodriguez et al 2013) and this could be also the case for the fossil species. In fact, what is treated here as Cyonasua (e.g., Riggs and Patternson 1939;Kraglievich and Reig 1954;Soibelzon 2011) was considered by some authors as different genera (e.g., Baskin, 2004).…”

“…6d). The biochron of Procyon and Nasua in South America dates back to the Lujanian (∼58.000 years AP; Soibelzon et al 2010;Rodriguez et al 2013). More than half a million year gap in the fossil record separates the last Cyonasua in the Ensenadan (∼1.8 to 0.4 Ma; Tonni 2009) and the first Procyon and Nasua in the Lujanian (Fig.…”

We report two fossil procyonids, Cyonasua sp. and Chapalmalania sp., from the late Pliocene of Venezuela (Vergel Member, San Gregorio Formation) and Colombia (Ware Formation), respectively. The occurrence of these preHolocene procyonids outside Argentina and in the north of South America provides further information about the Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI). The new specimens are recognized in the same monophyletic group as procyonids found in the southern part of the continent, the "Cyonasua group," formed by species of Cyonasua and Chapalmalania. The phylogenetic analysis that includes the two new findings support the view that procyonids dispersed from North America in two separate events (initially, previous to the first major migration wave-GABI 1-and then within the last major migration wave-GABI 4-). This involved reciprocal lineage migrations from North to South America, and included the evolution of South American endemic forms.

The Brazilian Quaternary terrestrial Carnivora are represented by the following families: Canidae, Felidae, Ursidae, Procyonidae Mephitidae and Mustelidae. Their recent evolutionary history in South America is associated with the uplift of the Panamanian Isthmus, and which enabled the Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI). Here we present new fossil records of Carnivora found in a cave in Aurora do Tocantins, Tocantins, northern Brazil. A stratigraphical controlled collection in the sedimentary deposit of the studied cave revealed a fossiliferous level where the following Carnivora taxa were present: Panthera onca, Leopardus sp., Galictis cuja, Procyon cancrivorus, Nasua nasua and Arctotherium wingei. Dating by Electron Spinning Resonance indicates that this assemblage was deposited during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), at least, 22.000 YBP. The weasel, G. cuja, is currently reported much further south than the record presented here. This may suggest that the environment around the cave was relatively drier during the LGM, with more open vegetation, and more moderate temperatures than the current Brazilian Cerrado.

“…De los géneros actuales, solamente Nasua y Procyon tienen registro fósil en el continente y presentan una ocurrencia reportada desde el Lujanense (0,009-0,126 Ma.) (Soibelzon et al, 2010;Rodríguez et al, 2013;Ramírez et al, 2015).…”

“…Koepfli et al (2007) sugirieron que Procyon y Nasua probablemente formaron parte del grupo original de prociónidos pre-GABI, e ingresaron al continente junto con Cyonasua, basado en que los tiempos de divergencia (estimados por vía de reloj molecular) entre las especies norteamericanas (P. lotor y N. narica) y suramericanas (P. cancrivorus y N. nasua) están ubicados sobre el Mioceno. Por otro lado, está la hipótesis de un ingreso más tardío (Simpson, 1950;Patterson & Pascual, 1968;Woodburne, 2010;Soibelzon & Prevosti, 2012;Prevosti et al, 2013;Rodríguez et al 2013;Forasiepi et al, 2014). Sobre esta idea, Prevosti y Soibelzon (2012) señalan que estos géneros formaron parte de un pulso migratorio masivo durante el Lujanense, lo que ubicaría a estos mamíferos como uno de los últimos inmigrantes en el contexto del GABI.…”
