Abstrakt: Abstract: On the basis of 60 hindlimbs of 30 crab-eating monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) of each sex, the morphology of the crural extensor and the peroneal group of leg muscles is described and some functional indices are calculated. For the attachments and measurements of the muscles, the results obtained in this study generally agreed with those of otherMacaca species. The crural extensor has minor differences. Some anomalous modes of insertion are observed in the peroneal group. These results indicate the phyletically labile state of the peronei in the crab-eating monkey.
