“Strange” magazine (a big all-time fave; the editor and publisher passed away unexpectedly a year or two ago) had an article about a much smaller primate, found by an expedition circa 1930, and of which only a photo survived (someone had shot it in order to take a type specimen). It is otherwise unknown (at least to those who don’t live in the Amazon). :’)
Thanks GitP and pcottraux.
