中国熊猴的分类整理

TAXONOMIC REVISION OF Macaca assamensis

本文通过查看国内收藏的标本对M.assamensis进行了分类整理,认为M.a.coolidgei的亚种地位应予恢复,滇西地区熊猴可能代表一个新类群。通过t检验,滇南和越南等地与滇西北和西藏东南部等地熊猴头骨的某些特征表现出显著或极显著差异。作为区分coolidgei与assamensis的指标:coolidgei体型较小,肩背毛较短,35—75mm,背毛环纹略显或不明显,0—2环,体色更为灰暗;assamensis体型较大,肩背毛较长,85—110mm,背毛环纹明显,3—4环。

This paper deals with the taxonomic revision of M. assamensis. After examining and analizing 32 specimens kept in China, we think M. a. coolidgei is a valid subspecies, and the assam macaques in westhern Yunnan probablly represent a new race, because the genetic deviation of mtDNA +in intraspecies of assam macaques between south Yunnan and west Yunnan is greater than that in interspecies between south Yunnan assam macaques and tibetan macaques (M. thibetana) (Zhang etal., 1991) . Through t-test on some cranial measurments, the difference between south and west Yunnan assam macaques in females is significant, and that between west and northwest Yunnan assani macaques in males is significant, too. As diagnoses distinguishing M. a. coolidgei from M. a. assamensis, the size of body is smaller in coolidgei ( : MR 538-602mm) than that in assamensis (620-700mm), the hair on the middle scapular-shoulder is shorter in coolidgei ( 35- 75 mm, June-Dec. ) than that in assamensis ( 85- 110 mm, June-Sep. ) , and upper dorsal hair is not so clearly annulated (0-2 annuli) in coolidgei as that (3-4 annuli) in assamensis, and the hair, especially on hindpart, is greyer in coolidgei.
