Annamese langur
Species of Old World monkey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Annamese langur (Trachypithecus margarita)[1] is an Old World monkey from the Colobinae subfamily. It was formerly considered a subspecies of Trachypithecus germaini until it was elevated to a separate species by Roos and Groves in 2008.[3][4] Its fur is lighter in colour than that of Trachypithecus germaini.[4] Its range includes parts of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.[4]
