Abstract
True primates in the Canadian fossil record are known from only the Eocene epoch of southwestern Saskatchewan. They were originally described in the 1980s from two sets of localities: the Lac Pelletier localities (Duchesnean) and the Swift Current Creek (SCC) locality (Uintan). Additional fieldwork and sample sorting were carried out over the last decade. The present study includes a description of new primate dental material from the Swift Current Creek (SCC) locality. We name a new genus and two new species and revise the known primates for both the Lac Pelletier and SCC faunas. The Cypress Hills region of Saskatchewan likely represented a haven for small primates in the Eocene and may have supported an endemic primate fauna.
在加拿大的化石记录中，真正的灵长类动物只出现在萨斯喀彻温省西南部的始新世。它们最初是在20世纪80年代从两个地方描述的:Lac Pelletier地区(Duchesnean)和Swift Current Creek (SCC)地区(Uintan)。在过去十年中进行了额外的实地调查和样本分类。目前的研究包括对Swift Current Creek (SCC)地区新的灵长类动物牙齿材料的描述。我们命名了一个新属和两个新种，并修改了Lac Pelletier和SCC动物群的已知灵长类动物。萨斯喀彻温省的柏树山地区可能代表了始新世小型灵长类动物的避难所，并可能支持特有的灵长类动物群。
