Abstract: This paper, based on morphological, ecological, behavioural, distribution, fossils and chromosome characters ( see tables 1 and 2) , constructs a new phylogenetic tree for the recent gibbons ( Fig. 2- A ) and hypothesize a possible phylogeny system (Fig. 2-B) for Hylobates spp. ( included probable extincts) according to Robert sonian centric fusion. The new tree of the gibbons′phylogeny and the study methods differ from other's studies (Groves, 1972; Creel et al. , 1976, 1984; Chivers, 1977; Haimoff et al. , 1982,1984; Shafer et al. , 1984; Marshall et al. , 1986) to be mainly in that:      1. The comparative characters used for the gibbons′evolutional analysis are varied subjects.   2. The chromosome gene evolution is regarded as a main direction of the gibbons’ phylogeny.   3. Chinese main land is look upon the primary place of the gibbons′origin, and H .concolor is represented the earliest sistinct taxa.   4. Java island is affirmed the secondary rise area, and the Siam ang (H .syndactylus) is suggested the subordinate speciated.   5. The white-browed gibbon (H . hoolock ) ought to be the progaressest classified species.   6. Other gibbons′taxas of the genus (Hylobates) , in order of its′phylogeney are intercalated between two sets of the siamang ( H . syndactylus) and the hoolock gibbon (H . hoolock ).

摘要: 本文综合形态、行为、生态、分布、染色体及有关化石资料的比较分析研究, 论述了白颊长臂猿(Hylobates leucog eny s) 和红颊长臂猿(Hylobates gabriellae) 的种级地位有效性; 着重讨论了黑长臂猿(Hylobates concolor) 及白眉长臂猿(Hylobates hoolock ) 的系统地位; 重新构建了现生11 种长臂猿系统发育的新系谱和依罗伯逊融合(Robert-sonian centric fusion) 进化途径的长臂猿演化假说。
