'''''Amphipithecus mogaungensis''''' (Ape-like Creature of Mogaung derived from the [[Ancient Greek]] ''ἀμφί , amphi'' meaning "around" and ''pithēkos, pithecus'' meaning "ape") was a [[primate]] that livelived in Late [[Eocene]] [[Myanmar]]. 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 [[adapidae]] or [[omomyidae]]. 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 [[frugivore]] primates, with a body mass of between six and ten kilograms.
