Abstract
The molar size sequence is examined in a variety of Old World monkeys. The M3 M2 M1 progression is common in the Papionini and Colobinae and rare in the Cercopithecini. The maxillary molars are much more variable in their size relations than the mandibular molars. The findings indicate necessary caution when using the molar size sequence for taxonomic purposes.Keywords
