Annamese langur

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.[2][3] Its fur is lighter in color than that of Trachypithecus germaini.[3] Its range includes parts of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.[3]
