Abstract
A specimen of Macaca was discovered in the Sungho cave no. 3, Sungho County, North Hwanghae Province, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The only available skull remains are represented by a mandible, which displays a combination of mandibular and dental features indicating that the specimen may belong to the species Macacamulatta. This discovery extends the geographical range of the genus Macaca.
