Rooneyia viejaensis is a relatively small primate belonging to the extinct monotypic genus Rooneyia. Rooneyia viejaensis is known from the North American Eocene of the Sierra Vieja of West Texas; the species is only known from the type specimen (TMM 40688-7). The lack of additional fossils at this time makes it difficult to hypothesize where and how Rooneyia may have evolved. The minimal wear upon the molar teeth of the specimen has led to the assumption that the type specimen is that of a young adult. Rooneyia does not consistently fall within any one group of fossil or extant primates.

| - Rooneyia es un género extinto de primate, que incluye solo a la especie, Rooneyia viejaensis. Vivió hace aproximadamente 37 millones de años durante el Eoceno. Tim Ryan, de la Universidad Estatal de Pensilvania, ha llevado a cabo un escaneo del único espécimen conocido. Rooneyia era un omómido, un tipo de primates primitivos (prosimios). Siendo miembro del suborden Haplorrhini, está con los actuales tarseros, monos, simios y humanos. John A. Wilson, del Centro de Ciencias Naturales de Texas, descubrió el espécimen tipo en 1964. (es)
