Abstract: This article is the conclusion of the comparative study of teeth in 130 craniums(skutls)of 7 kinds of rhesus macaque subspecies．In 22 terms variables，12 terms display
obvious bisexual type．The unvariate analysis among the other ten terms，show that except LM ₂M DL ,other variables among 7 subspecies possess obvious diversities The discriminant analysis shows that though 6 terms of all variables have remarkable contributions to the subspecies differentiating，the general discriminant ratio is only 32.56% between each subspecies，which illustrates that the variation of tooth shape in various rhesusmacaque subspecies was small.
In the star-symbol picture formed by 6 terms of variables，considerable differences of tooth pattern are shown between M acaca mutatta (India) and various Chinese subspecies．
The structure tooth in rhesus macaque show ladder-shaped changes in different latitudes，but the diversity of teeth of among various subspecies lies mainly in their size and shape． and relates to the individual size in various subspecies．
