Notopithecidae
Taxonomy
Notopithecidae was named by Ameghino (1897). Its type is Notopithecus. It was considered paraphyletic by Vera (2012).
It was reranked as the subfamily Notopithecinae by Simpson (1945), Simpson (1967), Reguero and Prevosti (2010), Vera (2012); it was reranked as the unranked clade Notopithecidae by Vera (2016).
It was assigned to Prosimiae by Ameghino (1897); to Typotheria by Simpson (1934), Simpson (1935); to Interatheriidae by Simpson (1945), Simpson (1967), Reguero and Prevosti (2010), Vera (2012); and to Notoungulata by Vera (2016).
