The East Sumatran banded langur (Presbytis percura), also known as the East Sumatran banded surili, is a species of monkey in the family Cercopithecidae. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Raffles' banded langur Presbytis femoralis, but genetic analysis revealed it to be a separate species. ^{[2] [3] [4] [5]} Its range is restricted to the Riau Province of east-central Sumatra. ^{[2] [6]} Due to its declining population and restricted range in small, isolated forests subject to high rates of deforestation, ^[2] the IUCN declared it to be a critically endangered species in 2020. ^[1]
