''Nacholapithecus'' is a Middle Miocene genus of hominoid found in the Nachola formation in northern Kenya, a key species in early hominid evolution. Similar in body plan to ''proconsul'', it had a long vertebral column with six lumbar vertebrae, no tail, a narrow torso, large upper limbs with mobile shoulder joints, and long feet. Together with other ''Kenyapithecinae'' such as ''Equatorius'', ''Kenyapithecus'', and ''Griphopithecus'', Nachopithecus displayed synapomorphies with ''Anoiapithecus'' ==Taxonomy== Nacholapithecus was initially classified as belonging in ''Kenyapithecus'' (Ishida ''et al'' 1984), then attributed (Ward et al. 1999) to ''Equatorius'' (with ''Equatorius'' perhaps grouped into a sub-family ''Equatorinae'', instead of both species in ''Afropithecini'' (Cameron 2004) ), finally recognised as a separate genus (Ishida ''et al'' 1999). Classified perhaps as a member of the family ''Proconsulidae'' (I. S. Zalmout ''et al''. 2010).
