Bukwa II Hominoidea

Résumé

Bukwa II, Uganda has yielded several isolated teeth of two taxa of Miocene Hominoidea, a small ape close to «Micropithecus» leakeyorum from Maboko which is similar to the material from Kipsaraman, Kenya, previously attributed to «Limnopithecus» sp., and a medium-sized ape close in dimensions to small specimens of Ekembo heseloni from Rusinga, Kenya, but differing from it in morphology. The diversity of hominoids at Bukwa II is low, but this could be related to the relatively small sample of mammals from the site. Two hominoid specimens from Bukwa II have already been mentioned in the literature but have not been described. These and other fossils from the site are described and illustrated herein. As an assemblage, the primate fauna from Bukwa II suggests correlation to East African Faunal Set III.
