Abstract: This Paper intends to present a summary on distribution of primates in China from a viewpoint of dynamic zoogeography,except macaques (Macaca) which has been given by a resume recently．None or very rare fossil forms of Presbytis, nycticebus and Rhinopithecus have been foundin china. The known fossil records and historically ancient-literatural information of Hylobates indicat e much wider range of the gibbon in Pleistocene and historical time．Currently，most of the primates are suffering local extirpation and thus result in shrink of range in terms of geographical distribution．
