Eighty-eight new fossil cercopithecoid specimens from Makapansgat, South
Africa are considered. They are referred to the species Parapapio broomi, P. jonesi,
P. whitei, Cercopithecoides williamsi and Simopithecus darti. With the exception of
P. whitei, each of these species has previously been described from this site. The
new material considerably extends our knowledge of all of the above species and
the species Cercopithecoides molletti, previously described from Swartkrans, must
now be sunk and the material referred to C. williamsi. Some remarks are made about
the status of the South African species of the genus Simopithecus.
