The paper presents the first detailed description and the first analysis of the fossil colobine monkey Mesopithecus housed in the collections of the Natural History Museum in Belgrade, Serbia. The material is described using the standard methodology and analyzed in a comparative context of specimens from the published literature (n=45), by using bivariate and multivariate statistical methods (principal component analysis). We determined several species: M. pentelicus, M. delsoni, M. cf. pentelicus, M. cf. delsoni. The associated fauna suggests MN11 to MN12 (Turolian) age, and a relatively open landscape - bushy or sparsely wooded savannah. However, further research into the associated collection will allow us to discuss biostratigraphic and paleoecological characteristics in more detail.
