Abstract

The remains of a species of Proconsul from early Miocene deposits at Meswa Bridge are described. Associated dental, mandibular, maxillary and cranial specimens represent several immature individuals. They are equivalent in size to Proconsul nyanzae but differ morphologically, particularly in the greater breadth and degree of flare of the deciduous and permanent molars, but lack of adult individuals from Meswa Bridge makes it difficult to compare them adequately with existing species. They are therefore left unassigned as an indeterminate species of Proconsul.
