The black Sumatran langur, Presbytis sumatrana, is a monkey of the family Cercopithecidae, the Old World monkeys, that is native to the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Sumatran surili, Presbytis melalophos, but genetic analysis revealed that these are separate species. The IUCN lists it as endangered, mainly because of deforestation and also because animals are taken for pets. The English Wikipedia list of Old World monkeys records it as a forest species that feeds on fruit, leaves, seeds and flowers.
