''Amphipithecus mogaungensis'' (Near-Ape of Mogaung) was a primate that live in Late Eocene Myanmar (Primate Adaptation and evolution, p.398). Along with another primate ''Pondaungia cotteri'', both are difficult to categorise within the Order, Primata. What little has come to light suggests that both were well beyond the affinitites of adapids or omomyids. Often referred to as higher primates, Anthropoidea, include humans, monkeys and apes. Deep mandibles and mandibular molars with low, broad crowns suggest they are both anthropoids. More material will need to surface to investigate what these primates are. The teeth also suggest that these were frugivorous primates, with a body mass of between six and ten kilograms.
