Silvery Lutung
The silvery lutung (''Trachypithecus cristatus''), also known as the silvered leaf monkey or the silvery langur, is an Old World monkey. It is arboreal, living in coastal, mangrove, and riverine forests in Sumatra, Borneo, Java, as well as in parts of the southwestern Malay Peninsula, the Natuna Islands, and other nearby islands. It is the type species of its species group. Description The silvery lutung is a medium-sized monkey with a long, non-prehensile tail. It has grey-tipped, dark brown or black fur, giving it a uniform silvery appearance. Unlike some related species, there are no paler markings on the face or body, except for a patch of whitish hair on the groin of females. A crest of fur runs along the top of the head, and the hair on the cheeks is long, often obscuring the ears. The hands and feet are hairless, with dark-coloured skin, and have opposable thumbs and toes. Females range from in head-body length, with an average weight of and a tail length of . Males are ...

Trachypithecus
''Trachypithecus'' (derived from Greek , meaning "rough" and , meaning "monkey") is a genus of Old World monkeys containing species known as lutungs, langurs, or leaf monkeys. Their range is much of Southeast Asia (northeast India, Vietnam, southern China, Borneo, Thailand, Java, and Bali). The name "lutung" comes from the Sundanese language meaning "blackness", ultimately from Proto-Austronesian *''luCuĆ'' (which originally referred to the Formosan rock macaque); it is preferred in one paper because the authors wanted the name langurs to only refer to monkeys in the genus '' Semnopithecus'', although some "lutungs" are now "langurs" again. Evolution Genetic analysis indicates that the ancestors of the modern species of lutung first differentiated from one another a little over 3 million years ago, during the late Pliocene. The various species alive today then diverged during the Pleistocene, presumably driven by habitat changes during the Ice Ages. The oldest fossils ...

East Javan Langur
The East Javan langur (''Trachypithecus auratus''), also known as the ebony lutung, Javan langur or Javan lutung, is an Old World monkey from the Colobinae subfamily. It is most commonly glossy black with a brownish tinge to its legs, sides, and "sideburns". It is found on the island of Java, as well as on several of the surrounding Indonesian islands. The Latin word ''auratus'' in its scientific name means "golden" and refers to a less common color variant. The common name golden langur refers to a different species. Description Like all langurs, this species' tail is noticeably long, measuring up to 98 cm in length while the body is only around 55 cm long. The two subspecies of this monkey are fairly similar in appearance and are geographically separated; males and females are both usually glossy black, although the females pale, yellowish-white patch around the pubic area. Juveniles of both subspecies are orange in color. The nominate subspecies ''Trachypithecus au ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Tenasserim Lutung
The Tenasserim lutung (''Trachypithecus barbei'') is a species of Old World monkey. It is found in Myanmar and Thailand. It is named after the Tenasserim Hills The Tenasserim Hills or Tenasserim Range (, ; , , ; ) is the geographical name of a roughly 1,700 km long mountain chain, part of the Indo-Malayan mountain system in Southeast Asia. Despite their relatively scant altitude these mo .... Phylogenetic evidence indicates that the Tenasserim lutung is an ancestor of the far more widespread Indochinese grey langur (''T. crepusculus''), with ''T. crepusculus'' being a product of ancient hybridization between the Tenasserim lutung and ancestral ''obscurus''-group langurs.

Germain's Langur
Germain's langur (''Trachypithecus germaini'') is an Old World monkey native to Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. The monkey was previously included in '' Trachypithecus cristatus'' and '' Trachypithecus villosus''. Two subspecies were recognized: *''Trachypithecus germaini germaini'' *''Trachypithecus germaini caudalis'' Taxonomy and evolution Germain's langur is part of the leaf monkey subfamily Colobinae. Two subspecies of the Germain's langur are recognized: ''Trachypithecus germaini germaini'' and ''Trachypithecus germaini caudalis.'' However, the classification of the Germain's langur has been contested, with ''T. germaini'' being grouped with other species in its subfamily. ''T. germaini'' and '' T. margarita'' were considered to be a single species, ''T. villosus,'' but morphological and genetic evidence has shown that they are distinct. ''T. germaini'' has also been grouped with '' T. cristatus'' until recent reclassifications. ''Trachypithecus germaini'' ...
