摘要: A new genus and species of anthropoid primate, Bahinia pondaungensis gen. et sp. nov., is described from the Yashe Kyitchaung locality in Late Middle Eocene Pondaung Formation (Myanmar). It related to Eosimias, but it represented by more complete remains, including upper dentition with associated lower jaw fragment. interpreted as a representative family Eosimiidae, which corresponds sister group Amphipithecidae all other anthropoids. Eosimiidae are now recorded three distinct localities Asia, giving support hypothesis an Asian origin
