The West Javan langur, Trachypithecus mauritius, is an Old World monkey of the subfamily Colobinae that was formerly considered a subspecies of Trachypithecus auratus until Roos and Groves elevated it to a separate species in 2008. The IUCN lists it as vulnerable. Its range is restricted to the island of Java west of Jakarta, and today to Ujung Kulon National Park, Muara Angke Wildlife Reserve and Muaragembong, because of industrial development, habitat fragmentation and the disconnection of protected areas. It is known to eat the leaves and fruits of Sonneratia in mangroves.
