1965 E. L. Simons in Nature 9 Jan. 136/1 Aegyptopithecus is more typically pongid than some members of the East African species of Proconsul.

1986 P. J. Livesey Learning & Emotion I. ii. v. 76 The first division would have been between the platyrrhine and catarrhine monkeys and..would have taken place well before the appearance of Aegyptopithecus.

2006 K. D. Rose Beginning Age Mammals x. 197/1 The larger Aegyptopithecus was similar in size and many aspects of limb anatomy to the howler monkey.

2010 B. Lewis et al. Understanding Humans (ed. 10) ix. 204 The other genus of importance from the Fayum is Aegyptopithecus.
