The Raffles' banded langur (Presbytis femoralis), also known as the banded leaf monkey or banded surili, is a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae. It is endemic to Singapore and southern Peninsular Malaysia. [2] The species underwent taxonomic revisions in 2019 and 2020, in which two former subspecies were elevated to separate species.
Robinson's banded langur (Presbytis robinsoni), also known as Robinson's banded surili, is a species of monkey in the family Cercopithecidae.It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Raffles' banded langur Presbytis femoralis, but genetic analysis revealed that it is no more related to Raffles' banded langur than it is to several other Presbytis species.
[2] [3] Their German name of Mützenlanguren ("capped langurs") comes from the hair on their head, which forms a tuft. They differ from the other langurs by characteristics in the shape of their head (particularly the poorly developed or absent brow ridges, and the prominent nasal bones), [2] in the teeth, and by the size of their small thumbs ...
The East Sumatran banded langur (Presbytis percura), also known as the East Sumatran banded surili, is a species of monkey in the family Cercopithecidae. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Raffles' banded langur Presbytis femoralis , but genetic analysis revealed it to be a separate species.
The black-crested Sumatran langur (Presbytis melalophos) is a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae. It is endemic to Sumatra in Indonesia . Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests .

Through mitochondria DNA analysis, these three species are split into two separate clades: P. femoralis on its own, P. robinsoni and P. siamensis in the other. [2] This was due to the sharing of unique nucleotides between P. robinsoni and P. siamensis. [2] There continues to be ongoing evolution of Robinson's banded langur and the white-thighed ...
