The Annamese langur (Trachypithecus margarita) ^[1] is an Old World monkey from the Colobinae subfamily. It was formerly considered a subspecies of Trachypithecus germaini until it was elevated to a separate species by Roos and Groves in 2008. ^{[3] [4]} Its fur is lighter in colour than that of Trachypithecus germaini. ^[4] Its range includes parts of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. ^[4]
