The family Dendropithecidae is an extinct family of fossil catarrhines and the only known members of the Dendropithecoidea superfamily. They date from the Early Miocene, around 20 - 17 million years ago.[1]
Fossils of the two Dendropithecus species, Dendropithecus macinnesi and Dendropithecus ugandensis, have been found in East Africa, including several partial skeletons of Dendropithecus macinnesi on Rusinga Island in Lake Victoria. Other species are Simiolus Andrewsi, Simiolus cheptumoae, Simiolus enjiessi, Micropithecus clarki and Micropithecus leakeyurum.[1]
