H. patagonicus was a robustly built, quadrupedal primate, with body mass estimates varying between 1.4 and 5.9 kg (3.1 and 13.0 lb) based on different techniques.[5]
Some authors consider Killikaike blakei to be a junior synonym for H. patagonicus,[6][1] but others consider the species distinct.[7]
While some studies have regarded Homunculus as a crown group platyrhine and a member of the family Pitheciidae, other studies have regarded it as a stem-group platyrhine outside any modern group, which is supported by the morphology of its nasal turbinates, which are dissimilar to those of crown-group platyrhines.[8]
Homunculus is suggested to have been primarily frugivorous based on dental wear.[9]
