A new species of Pliopithecus from the Indian S̀ivaliks

This paper gives a detailed account of an isolated upper third molar of a gibbon-like primate, the first of its kind ever found from the S?ivalik hills. The tooth comes from the Nagri beds comparable to the Middle Miocene Formations. This tooth has been assigned to a new species of Pliopithecus, namely P. krishnaii, on the basis of morphological and metrical comparisons with the fossil gibbon-like primates and living gibbons.
