我们描述了一个仰鼻猴，这是新的科学从克钦邦东北部，缅甸东北部，缅甸仰鼻猴，Rhinopithecus strykeri sp. nov.的高海拔地区的描述是基于皮肤和头骨的四个标本从当地猎人。这种新物种在地理上与其他金丝猴隔离，并被两条主要的屏障-湄公河和萨尔温江（Thanlwin）分开。该物种主要通过其几乎完全黑色的皮毛颜色与白色皮毛仅在耳丛，下巴胡须和会阴区域，以及其相对较长的尾巴（成年男性头部和身体长度的140%）来诊断。初步调查和对猎人的采访表明，新物种仅限于分布在缅甸东北部克钦邦东北部Salween-N 'mai Hka分水岭的一个小区域Maw River地区。分布区域约270 km（2），该物种可能仅由三个群体组成，总人口约为260-330人。我们关于狩猎压力的数据表明，该物种处于极度濒危状态。Am.

We describe a snub-nosed monkey that is new to science from the high altitudes of northeastern Kachin state, northeastern Myanmar, the Burmese snub-nosed monkey, Rhinopithecus strykeri sp. nov. Descriptions are based on a skin and skulls of four specimens obtained from local hunters. The new species is geographically isolated from other snub-nosed monkeys and separated from them by two major barriers-the Mekong and the Salween (Thanlwin) rivers. The species is chiefly diagnosed by its almost entirely blackish fur coloration with white fur only on ear tufts, chin beard, and perineal area, and its relatively long tail (140% of head and body length in the adult male). Preliminary surveys and interviews with hunters indicate that the new species is limited in distribution to the Maw River area, a small region of the Salween-N'mai Hka divide in northeastern Kachin state, northeastern Myanmar. The distribution area appears to cover about 270 km(2), and the species may consist of only three groups with a total population of approximately 260-330 individuals. Our data on hunting pressure suggest that the species is Critically Endangered. Am. J. Primatol. 73:96-107, 2011. (C) 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
