Abstract

We re-found the holotype (PIN 3381-235) of a Pliocene fossil monkey Parapresbytis eohanuman (Mammalia, Primates, Cercopithecidae, Colobinae), which had been collected from the Shaamar fossil locality (Selenge Aimag, northern Mongolia), at Institute of Paleontology, Mongolian Academy of Sciences, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. This specimen is now stored in this institute. Here, we provide precise photos of this holotype with some remarks. It is a fused mandibular corpus with a complete left and right dentition, lacking left and right ascending rami. Its ventral part is crushed and broken.
