"A new species of paromomyid primates is described from the middle Paleocene beds of Kutz Canyon Area, San Juan Basin, New Mexico. Palaechthon nacimienti Wilson and Szalay, new species, is similar to P. alticuspis, the generotype, in size and molar morphology, but shows more primitive proportions between the canine and antemolar teeth. A crushed skull of this species shows the primitively dominant facial cranium of early primates"--P. [1].
