Body-weight range prediction of NMMP-39. This weight range was estimated from all strepsirhine and lemur-only regression equations based on several linear talar dimensions (A1, A2, A3, A4, A7, and A81) indicated by Dagosto and Terranova (39). Predicted body-weight ranges of Amphipithecus (NMMP-3250, NMMP-2, NMMP-6, NMMP-7, and NMMP-30) and Pondaungia (NMMP-17, NMMP-25, and NMMP-38) were estimated from the first lower molar (M₁) areas by using the equation of Gingerich et al. (41) (line 1), all primate (line 2) and anthropoid (line 3) least-squares regression equations of Conroy (40), and the primate (lines 4 and 5) least-square regression equations of Legendre (42). The body weight of Myanmarpithecus was predicted from NMMP-37, a new fragment of mandible bearing M₁-M₂ (second lower molar), found in November 2002 in Paukkaung Kyitchaung No. 3 (see Fig. 1) by the Myanmar-French Team.
