摘要：
Recent field work in the Eocene Krabi Basin (south Thailand) has yielded a fragment of a primate lower jaw containing the second and third molar teeth attributed to a new genus and species, Wailekia orientale. The specimen described here is morphologically very close to Oligopithecus savagei from the Fayum (Egypt), and the presence of Wailekia in the Upper Eocene of Thailand suggests that South East Asia may be an important centre of origin for anthropoids.
