Abstract

The premolar and molar dimensions of the Parapapio specimens hitherto described \nfrom the South African lower Pleistocene deposits at Sterkfontein have been \nre-examined. The relatively minor sexual dimorphism in these teeth (except P3 length) \nwas confirmed. 103 new cercopithecoid specimens from Sterkfontein were tentatively \nassigned to the 3 previously described Parapapio spp. from that site. The new and old \nsamples of each species were compared and then pooled. Analysis of this new enlarged \nsample, and also the newly available distribution data of Parapapio from other South \nAfrican deposits, both tend to support the validity of 3 Parapapio spp., P. jonesi, P. \nbroomi and P. whitei, at Sterkfontein.
