The Hatinh langur (Trachypithecus hatinhensis) is a highly threatened Old World monkey found in limestone forests in Vietnam, primarily in the Quang Binh Province. A recent survey discovered a small population living in the Quang Tri Province. Contrary to its name, it is not known from the Ha Tinh Province. The local Van Kieu minority refer to this lutung as the 'Con Cung', which roughly translates as "black, cliff-dwelling monkey with a long tail".[3] It resembles the closely related Francois' langur (T. francoisi), but its white cheek-stripes extend behind the ears onto the nape.[4]
This diurnal, largely arboreal langur is social and typically seen in groups of 2-15, but occasionally groups may number as many as 30 individuals.[4] It has often been considered a subspecies of the Francois' langur, but was elevated to a full species by Bradon-Jones in 1995,[5] and this was followed by Groves, 2005.[1] Both, however, listed it as a subspecies in 2004,[6] and genetic work suggest it should be considered a subspecies of the Laotian langur (T. laotum).[7][8]
