Xenotrichini (the Antilles monkeys) is a tribe of extinct primates, which lived on the Greater Antilles as recently as the last few thousand years.
These Caribbean islands no longer contain endemic primates; Xenothrix mcgregori, the species currently documented to have survived the latest, is estimated to have gone extinct around 900 years before present. The relationship of these species is supported by details in the formation of the skull and the lower jaw, such as a reduction in the number of teeth.
