Ape or monkey, eg (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

primate

I believe this is a double definition.

'ape' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'monkey eg' is the second definition.
(monkey is a kind of primate)

(Other definitions for primate that I've seen before include "bishop, perhaps" , "Highest-ranking bishop" , "Chief priest" , "Ape - cleric" , "Archbishop - monkey, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
