    Abstract:

    During a field expedition on September 28 of 2016, we photographed one troop of about 20﹣30 Macaques in Simuzha Scenic Spot, Cona, Tibet Autonomous Region, China (27°49′34.89″N, 91°43′44.77″E, alt. 2 830 m). Their photographs and relative tail lengths are compared with that of the potiential sympatric Macaca species and from the literatures, and be sure that these macaques are Macaca munzala, which was newly discovered Macaca species in Tawang in 2005. This is the first record of this species in China except the disputed area occupied by India.
