| Abstract: | A small East African oreopithecid, Nyanzapithecus vancouveringi, is poorly known from several damage and/or weathered specimens. Thus, the hypodigm of this species is incomplete and problematic. Although the hypodigm was previously revised by Harrison (1986), further revision has been necessitated during comparison with new Nyanzapithecus material from Nachola and other Miocene anthropoids. One specimen from Songhor, which was retained in Harrison's hypodigm, is removed, and one specimen from Mfwangano is reasigned from Rangwapithecus gordoni to N. vancouveringi. |
