Final answer:

Platyrrhines were only found in South America initially, but some avian species were able to cross into North America around 3 million years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

The platyrrhines, also known as New World monkeys, were initially only found in South America. However, around 3 million years ago, with the formation of the Isthmus of Panama, some avian species were able to cross into North America. While suboscine passerines managed to migrate into North America, there is no evidence that platyrrhines colonized areas outside of the Americas.
