Abstract: This paper carried out the functional comparative study of scapula in Macaca mu-
latta distriburing over Sichuan，Yunnan，Huhei and Hunan Provinces in China．The results of multivariate analyses suggested that the lengths of scapular spine and acromion，the angle of glenoidalis cavity and the insertion of m．deltoldeus on humerus played an important role for distinguishing the subspecies of M．mulatta of China． Sichuan's race which showed more terrestrial quadrupedal activities，is significantly different from other two subspecies．The scapular morphologies of rhesus monkey's race in Yunnan shared some similar features with that of ones in Hunan and Hubei．And both races possess much arboreal locomotions than Sichuan race． It suggests that their classificatory position may be most closely and same subspecies as showed by Zhang et al． (1991)．
