From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dionysopithecinae is a subfamily of extinct primates known from Miocene fossil deposits in China, Pakistan, and Thailand.[1][2][3] The species attributed to this group include ''Dionysopithecus shuangouensis'', ''Dionysopithecus orientalis'', and ''Platodontopithecus jianghuaiensis''. Dionysopithecines represent the earliest known occurrence of pliopithecoids in the fossil record.
