I propose merging to Parapithecidae because this is a monotypic taxon containing only the destination subject. Per WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA, we should generally merge such articles towards the genus level. - UtherSRG (talk) 02:29, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

- Merge. My only hesitation is that this area of taxonomy seems a bit in flux and the superfamily might suddenly become non-monotypic in the future. But it wouldn't be too hard to recreate the article in that case. Otherwise, seems to follow clearly from WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA. M kuhner (talk) 03:40, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
