In the following tree the internal structure of Nyanzapithecinae of Nengo et al. is followed.{{Clade||label1=Dendropithecidae|style1=line-height:80%;font-size:80%}} Nyanzapithecinae Harrison, 2002 Nyanzapithecus Harrison, 1986 Nyanzapithecus harrisoni Kunimatsu, 1997 Nyanzapithecus pickfordi Harrison, 1986 Nyanzapithecus vancouveringorum Andrews, 1974 Mabokopithecus von Koenigswald, 1969 Mabokopithecus clarki von Koenigswald, 1969 Rangwapithecus Andrews, 1974 Rangwapithecus gordoni Andrews, 1974 Turkanapithecus Leakey & Leakey, 1986 Turkanapithecus kalakolensis Leakey & Leakey, 1986 Nengo et al. suggest: "Nyanzapithecines were a long-lived and diverse group of Miocene hominoids that are probably close to the origin of crown hominoids."
