长尾雉的地理分布及其系统关系的初步分析

The Distributions and Systematic Analysis of the Longtailed Pheasants

全世界共有长尾雉５种，其中白颈长尾雉分布于浙江、安徽、福建、江西、湖北、湖南、广东、广西和贵州等９省；黑颈长尾雉分布于广西和云南，国外还分布于泰国、缅甸和印度等地；白冠长尾雉分布于河北、安徽、河南、湖北、湖南、四川、贵州、云南、陕西和甘肃等１０省；黑长尾雉分布于台湾省；铜长尾雉分布于日本．长尾雉的起源中心可能在武陵山脉，并有可能先分化出白颈长尾雉祖种和白冠长尾雉祖种；黑长尾雉、黑颈长尾雉和白颈长尾雉可能由白颈长尾雉祖种分衍产生；铜长尾雉和白冠长尾雉可能由白冠长尾雉祖种分衍产生．

The longtailed pheasants(Genus Syrmaticus) consist of five species in the world.Elliot’s pheasant(S. ellioti) is distributed in Zhejiang,Anhui,Fujian,Jiangxi,Hubei,Hunan,Guangdong,Guangxi and Guizhou provinces.Bartailed pheasant(S.humiae) is distributed in Guangxi and Yunnan provinces of China,it also could be found in Burma,India and Thailand.Reeves’ pheasant (S.reevesii) is distributed in Hebei,Anhui,Henan,Hubei,Hunan,Sichuan,Guizhou,Yunnan,Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. The distribution of Mikado pheasant (S.mikado) is limited to the central mountain ranges of Taiwan.Copper pheasant (S.soemmerringii) is a longtailed pheasant which distributed only in Japan.The origin centre of Syrmaticus  was perhaps in the area of Wuling Mountain ranges of China.Presumably the Syrmaticus ancestral stock was separated into an Elliot’s pheasant ancestral species and a Reeves’ pheasant ancestral species.Then,Bartailed pheasant,Mikado pheasant and Elliot’s pheasant evolved perhaps from an Elliot’s pheasant ancestral species,while Copper pheasant and Reeves’ pheasant evolved perhaps from a Reeves’ pheasant ancestral species.
