dc.description.abstract"Cranial remains of parapithecid primates found in Oligocene deposits of the Fayum badlands southwest of Cairo, Egypt, are assigned to two species of the genus Apidium. A new partial skull confirms reference of an earlier described frontal bone to the genus and species Apidium phiomense. Together these two finds demonstrate that several anthropoidean cranial characteristics had been developed in the African parapithecids by Oligocene times, 34 million years ago. Parapithecoidea may be a sister group to Catarrhini. One partial cranium discussed here belongs to a new species described below"--P. [1].en_US
