About: Alophe

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Alophe metios was an early cercopithecoid monkey that lived in Kenya about 22 million years ago. It is known from jaw fragments and teeth. Although it was more closely related to modern cercopithecids (Old World monkeys) than to apes, it had not evolved some features shared by crown cercopithecids and their nearest relatives, such as bilophodont molars. The monkey was originally named Alophia metios, but the genus Alophia was already taken by a moth, prompting the new name Alophe.

dbo:abstract	Alophe ist eine ausgestorbene Gattung der Primaten, die während des frühen Miozäns in Ostafrika vorkam. In Kenia entdeckte Fossilien, die zu dieser Gattung gestellt wurden, stammen der 2019 publizierten Erstbeschreibung zufolge aus Sedimentschichten, die rund 22 Millionen Jahre alt sind. Die einzige bislang beschriebene Art der Gattung und zugleich deren Typusart ist Alophe metios. (de) Alophe metios was an early cercopithecoid monkey that lived in Kenya about 22 million years ago.
