Revised measurements of hominoid teeth from Berg Aukas, Namibia, indicate that the two species previously reported from the site were of similar body size, raising the possibility that there might be only a single species present. However comparisons of dental morphology confirm the hypothesis of two species, Otavipithecus namibiensis and cf Kenyapithecus sp. closer in dimensions to K. africanus than to K. wickeri. Keywords: late middle miocene, hominoidea, Africa, measurements, dentition
