Raffles' banded langur, also known as the banded leaf monkey or banded surili, is a primate in the monkey family (Cercopithecidae), endemic to Singapore and southern peninsular Malaysia. It is 43.2–61.0 cm long excluding the tail (Wikipedia, general species account).
The species underwent taxonomic revisions in 2019 and 2020 in which two former subspecies were elevated to separate species, leaving this form with a much smaller range. It is mainly threatened by habitat loss (Wikipedia, general species account).
