来自广东罗定苹塘下山洞及山背岩的灵长目动物包括：猩猩（pongo）、长臂猿（gibbon）、猕猴类（macaques）及疣猴类（colobines）。猩猩化石的研究报告已于1992年发表。本文记述的是长臂猿科及猴科化石共5属、9种：Hylobatesconcolor，Rhinopithecussp.，cf.Pygathrixnemaeus，cf.Trachypithecusphyrei，T.sp，T.francois和cf.Macacaassamensis，Macacathibetana，Macacamulatta。虽然它们均属于现生种，但这些猴类牙齿化石的形态给今后进一步研究提供了对比资料。这一动物群的组合特征，为探讨两广地区的生态环境提供了科学依据。根据其它伴生哺乳动物的分析，其时代为中更新世末期。
Primates from the lower caverns and back rocks of Pingtung, Guangdong Province, include: pongo, gibbon, macaques and colobines. A study of orangutan fossils was published in 1992. Described herein are five families of gibbons and monkeys fossils, nine species: Hylobatesconcolor, Rhinopithecussp., Cf. Pygathrix nemaeus, cf. Trachypithecusphyrei, T. sp, T. francois and cf. Macacaassamensis, Macacathibetana, Macacamulatta. Although all of them belong to the current species, the morphology of these monkey’s dental fossils provides comparative data for further research. The assemblage characteristics of this fauna provide a scientific basis for exploring the ecological environment in both Guangdong and Guangxi. Based on the analysis of other associated mammals, the period was the end of the Middle Pleistocene.
