Hose’s langur  (Presbytis hosei)

Range

Endemic to the island of Borneo (6), in the countries of Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia (Kalimantan), and Malaysia (provinces of Sarawak and Sabah) (1). P. h. hosei occurs in Sarawak (1), but may only be found around the lower Baram river (3). P. h. everetti is found along the northwest coast of Sabah into Brunei, while P. h. sabana is confined to central and eastern Sabah and south-western to Kalabakan (3). This subspecies may also be found in far north-eastern Kalimantan. P. h. canicrus is recorded definitely only from Gunung Talisayan and Karangan in East Kalimantan, but is probably also present in Kutai (7).

Habitat

This arboreal monkey largely moves through the middle levels of the forest canopy, occasionally descending to the ground to visit natural mineral sources (3). Primary and, less abundantly, secondary forests are inhabited, in an altitudinal range of 1,000-1300 m. The species will also occasionally enter plantations (3) (7).
