Homunculus (Latin: [hɔˈmʊŋkʊlʊs]; "little person") is an extinct genus of New World monkey that lived in Patagonia during the Miocene. Two species are known: Homunculus patagonicus[3][2][4] and Homunculus vizcainoi, which are known from material found in the Santa Cruz Formation in the far south of Argentina.[1]
