摘要: 本文基于外部形态、毛色、头骨特征和地理分布对藏酋猴Macaca thibetana进行了分类整理,认为藏酋猴在不同地理区域之间的差异已达到了亚种水平,可分为4个亚种(包括两新亚种):M.thibetana thibetana,M.thibetana pullus,M.thibetana huangshanensis subsp.nov.和M.thibetana guizhouensis subsp.Nov.。Abstract: Tibetan macaque (Macaca thibetana) is an endemic primate in China.Its geographic distribution extends from Western Sichuan through Guizhou,Northeastern Yunnun,Hunan,Northern Guangxi to Anhui,Zhejiang,Jiangxi,Fujian and Northern Guangdong.Based on the nearly 40 specimens examined,we think that the macaque could be divided into four subspecies,including two new subspecies.
