The white-thighed surili (Presbytis siamensis), also called the pale-thighed langur, is an arboreal Old World monkey of the family Cercopithecidae. It is endemic to the Thai-Malay Peninsula, the Riau Archipelago and Sumatra, and four subspecies are recognised. It takes its name from the white patches on the outsides of its legs; the back is brown-grey, the belly white and the head dark, and adults weigh roughly 5 to 6.7 kilograms. It lives in small groups with one male and several females. Its taxonomy is unsettled and it has been treated both as a subspecies of Presbytis melalophos and as a species in its own right. The IUCN rates it near threatened, and it is listed in Appendix II of CITES because individuals are sometimes kept as pets or used in the entertainment industry.
