Robinson's banded langur, also called Robinson's banded surili, is an arboreal Old World monkey described by Oldfield Thomas in 1910. It was long treated as a subspecies of Raffles' banded langur, but genetic analysis showed it is no more closely related to that species than to several other Presbytis langurs, and it is now recognised as a species in its own right. In Thailand it lives in the peninsula and has been photographed in Khao Sok National Park. It is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List (Wikipedia, general species account).
