Parapitheca

Parapithecus is a member of the order of primates, also known as two-incisor monkeys. These small animals live in the forests of South and East Asia, as well as Africa. They were first discovered by English zoologist Andrew Burnell in 1864 and named after ancient African monkeys, before being given their current name by Peter Young, a colleague at the University of New South Wales, in 1945. Currently, only two species of parapithecus are known: the tree frog lemur and the monkey parapithecus. Both of these species are often classified in the genus Siamopithecus, but researchers disagree on the exact classification of these species. Monkeys of this genus are the largest representatives of the family. Outwardly, these monkeys are quite inconspicuous, which is why identifying them by description is not at all easy. If we give a description of the appearance of the most common species, it will sound like this: Monkey of the Siamese genus
