New finds of fossil primates from the Lower Miocene deposits at Koru can be assigned to three presently described species, Limnopithecus legetet, Micropithecus clarki and Dendropithecus macinnesi. The large sample now known from Koru permits a more complete understanding of the detailed morphology of these three species, and also provides a basis for the reassessment of the taxonomic status of material previously assigned to these taxa.
