Anoiapithecus is an extinct ape genus thought to be closely related to Dryopithecus. Both genera lived during the Miocene, approximately 12 million years ago. Fossil specimens named by Salvador Moyà-Solà are known from the deposits from Spain.
Palaeoecology
Based on climatic changes recorded in the Abocador de Can Mata stratigraphic sequence in Spain, A. brevirostris appears to have had a habitat preference for dense, humid forests, in contrast to coeval pliopithecids that were more at home in relatively open environments. ==See also==
