广东罗定更新世灵长类化石

来自广东罗定苹塘下山洞及山背岩的灵长目动物包括：猩猩（pongo）、长臂猿（gibbon）、猕猴类（macaques）及疣猴类（colobines）。猩猩化石的研究报告已于1992年发表。本文记述的是长臂猿科及猴科化石共5属、9种：Hylobatesconcolor，Rhinopithecussp.，cf.Pygathrixnemaeus，cf.Trachypithecusphyrei，T.sp，T.francois和cf.Macacaassamensis，Macacathibetana，Macacamulatta。虽然它们均属于现生种，但这些猴类牙齿化石的形态给今后进一步研究提供了对比资料。这一动物群的组合特征，为探讨两广地区的生态环境提供了科学依据。根据其它伴生哺乳动物的分析，其时代为中更新世末期。

PLEISTOCENE FOSSIL PRIMATES FROM LUODING,GUANGDONG

Materials of the fossil primales were collected from two caves: Xiashan cave and Shanbeiyan cave, Luoding County, Guangdong province. Luoding County is locatedin Southwest Dayunwu mountain and is contiguous to Guangxi. The elements of fauna from Luoding has been reported (Huang el al. 1988; Chen, 1988). In this paper we made the taxonomy of primate in detail.These fossil primates were assigned to three families: Pongidae, Hylobatidae and Cercopithecidae. The fossil pongo have been reported by Gu et al. (1987). 91 teeth are described in this paper. 60 of them are from Xiashan cave, other 31 teeth were collected from shanbeiyan. The gibbons are determined to Hylobates concolor and were collected from Xiashan cave. In Cercopithecidae there are Rhinopithecus sp., cf.Pygathrix nemaeus, cf. Trachypithecus phyrei, Trachypithecus sp., Trachypithecus francois, cf. Macaca assamensis, Macaca thibetana, Macaca mulatta and Macaca sp.These materials exeept T. francois, all appeared in two caves. T. francois was only found from Xiashan cave.In the Xiashan cave and the Shanbeiyan cave the assemblage of the fossil primates see the Chinese text.
