| Citation | Description | Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: The precise limits of distribution of this species are unclear. It is reliably recorded from Cambodia, Viet Nam, and from southern Lao PDR, where Duckworth et al. (1999) reported them as far north as about 15.4°N. To the west of this, they extend to Kanchamburi Province in southern Thailand right to the Bay of Bengal in Myanmar, as Groves (2001) notes intersecting between the distributions of T. obscurus and T. phayrei. Records from Assam and elsewhere in north-east India, which have been attributed to this species, presumably relate to another species and indeed it is not mentioned as part of the range of this species by Groves (2005).

Population [top]
Population: This is a widespread but very rare species throughout most of its range (Nadler et al. 2003). The apparently extremely low density of this species in Viet Nam suggests that the population has been seriously reduced due to human pressure (Nadler et al. 2003). There are only a few sightings documented in that country over the last 50 years, though this may be a result of limited surveys conducted in the species range (Nadler et al. 2003). It has been recorded in Cat Tien National Park but its relative abundance is not as high as douc langurs (Pygathrix spp.). In Lao PDR, it is probably localized though possibly common in a small number of areas; however, no large continuous area is known to support high populations (Duckworth et al. 1999). It is widespread in Cambodia, and, in certain areas (such as the lowlands of northern Mondulkiri) it may be the most common primate; in other areas, it is surprisingly rare or uncommon (R. Timmins pers. comm.). In Thailand the taxon is moderately common in several protected areas, but has declined significantly (W. Brockelmann pers. comm.). In Kien Giang Province (confirmed germaini), five or six limestone hills have significant remaining populations. Overall, the impression is one of a significantly declining population.
Current Population Trend: Decreasing
Additional data:
? Population severely fragmented: No
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: This is primarily a lowland species, with a preference for evergreen and semi-evergreen, mixed deciduous, riverine and gallery forest. Records in hilly areas or at higher elevations are few.
Systems: Terrestrial
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The major threats to this species are hunting, mainly for subsistence use and traditional “medicine”, the pet trade and habitat loss, mainly due to agricultural expansion.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: This species is listed on CITES Appendix II. It has been recorded from Phu Quoc National Park (Viet Nam), and probably still occurs in Cat Tien National Park (Viet Nam), and it occurs in several protected areas in Thailand. Further survey and taxonomic work is needed to elucidate and better understand the population status and limits of distribution of this species, and especially to resolve the status of the form margarita relative to germaini.
