Crouzeliinae Pliopithecinae Dionysopithecinae The family Pliopithecidae is an extinct family of fossil catarrhines and members of the Pliopithecoidea superfamily.

Their anatomy combined primitive features such as a small braincase, a long snout, and a tail.

At the same time, they possessed more advanced features such as stereoscopic vision and ape-like teeth and jaws, clearly distinguishing them from monkeys.

[1] Begun and Harrison divide the Pliopithecidae into subfamilies Pliopithecinae and Crouzeliinae.
