Fossil evidence Accepted 12 May 2016 suggests in turn that early members of the lineage Available online 11 June 2016 dispersed into Eurasia by the latest Miocene, roughly coinciding with the sea level drop associated with the Messinian Salinity Crisis Keywords: (Alba et al., 2014, 2015).

There is consensus (e.g., Szalay and Pleistocene Delson, 1979; Delson, 1980; Alba et al., 2011, 2014) that all the Eu- ropean fossil macaques belong to the lineage of the extant M. sylvanus. The two earliest (latest Miocene) European macaque records (Kohler€ et al., 2000; Alba et al., 2014) are attributed to cf. Macaca sp., while the macaque fossil remains from Sardinia are recognized as an extinct, endemic insular species, Macaca majori Azzaroli, 1946 (Zanaga, 1998; Rook and O'Higgins, 2005). The remaining fossil macaque remains from Europe, following Szalay 1. Introduction and Delson (1979) and Delson (1980), are customarily attributed to various extinct subspecies of M. sylvanus (e.g., Alba et al., 2008, 1.1.

The Incarcal site complex originated due to the karstification (by dissolution and collapse) of the limestones (Ros and Palomar, 2003; Galobart et al., 2010).

The overrepresentation of carnivorans and the frequent from the acronym of the former excavation company (Industrias de recovery of bones in anatomical connection suggest that these Carbonato de Cal; Maroto et al., 2003a; Galobart et al., 2010). Initial karstic cavities functioned as vertebrate traps (Galobart, 2003a), in surveys resulted in the publication of plant macroremains from the agreement with the very short transportation distance inferred limestones of Crespia( Villalta and Vicente, 1972; Roiron, 1983), from the abundance of unfragmented long bones and the excellent from the lacustrine Incarcal Formation (Banyoles-Besalú Basin), as state of preservation of the fossils (Galobart, 2003b). However, well as the publication of abundant late Villafranchian vertebrate sedimentological evidence suggests that bones were transported fossils from the karstic infills developed in these limestones (Julia by water flow into the dolines (Canals and Galobart, 2003). This is and Villalta, 1984). Subsequent surveys and excavations between further supported by current natural ponds from nearby areas, 1984 and 1990 (Maroto and Galobart, 1991; Maroto et al., 2003b; which act as sinkholes that eventually collect remains from Galobart et al., 2010) and 1999e2005 (Galobart et al., 2010)were the surroundings after rainy episodes (Madurell-Malapeira and particularly focused on Incarcal I and V.

The crown and the mesiobuccal root are completely Stephanorhinus hundsheimensis Equus altidens preserved, whereas the tip of the single lingual root and most of Order Artiodactyla the distobuccal root are missing. The crown shows a moderate Hippopotamus antiquus degree of wear (with very slight dentine exposure at the apices of Bison sp. the buccal cusps, but more extensive dentine exposure on the Bovidae indet.

Overall, the generalized papionin occlusal pattern displayed by also true of the Incarcal specimen. The identification of the latter as the Incarcal molar is fully compatible with an assignment to Macaca an M2 further agrees with the distinct but moderate distal tapering (Fig. 3). The crown measurements of the Incarcal molar (mesio- of the crown (buccolingual breadth in the distal lobe 9.3 mm), since distal length 10.1 mm; maximum buccolingual breadth 10.4 mm, tapering is usually less marked in M1 and more accentuated in M3. taken on the mesial lobe) are beyond the metrical variability of M1 Moreover, the latter generally display a more oval occlusal contour in both extant and fossil M. sylvanus, and in contrast fit well with with a convex distal margin, and identification as an M3 is in any the size range and proportions of M2 in M. s. florentina (Fig. 4; see case ruled out by the presence of a distal contact facet.

In spite of considerable overlap in dental size with assignment to , the other papionin recorded in extant M. s. sylvanus, it has been argued that M. s. florentina differs the Early Pleistocene of Iberia (Delson et al., 2014; Marigo et al., metrically in some respects (Alba et al., 2011), such as larger and 2014), can be also confidently discounted based on the larger size relatively wider upper molars on average (as seen in Fig. 4), as is of Paradolichopithecus (Fig. 4).

Taxonomic attribution over leaves (Hanya et al., 2011). In this regard, the recovery of abundant fossilized walnuts at Incarcal I (Buxo, 2003) suggests Based on morphological, metrical and biochronological grounds, that the depositional environment might have been a suitable the Incarcal molar is here assigned to M. s. florentina.

Overall, the Incarcal sula (Marigo et al., 2014) and elsewhere in Europe (Elton and paleoenvironment would not have been optimal for macaques O'Regan, 2014), their presence in Early Pleistocene Iberian sites is (which might explain the scarcity of their remains), but is likely to quite limited.

Macaca sp. was also reported from Sima del Ele- fante in Atapuerca (1.2 Ma; Carbonell et al., 2008; Huguet et al., The research reported in this work has been funded by the 2013), but the material is unpublished and most recently Huguet Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (CGL2014- et al.
