FOREWORD
The current issue comprises a single paper, but an important one.
The dynamic nature of mammal taxonomy is a great sign of the growth of our understanding,
particularly since the wider application of genetic techniques. Still, these changes can make life difficult
for those involved in studying and conserving mammals. Following years of work, 2013 saw the
publication of the primate volume in the encyclopaedic series The Handbook of the Mammals of the
World. This brought the new findings together in one synthesis of the current primate taxa and their
distributions and conservation status.
A downside of the comprehensive published format was that the results of the synthesis were
inaccessible to many in Asia and elsewhere. The present paper seeks to make that synthesis more
available for Asias primates, whilst incorporating some further changes since the Handbook volume
was published. It also adds greater consistency in the use of English common names. Supplementing
the text are Stephen Nashs excellent illustrations.
The science will not stand still, but for the moment this paper summarises the state of knowledge
on nomenclature, distribution and status of Asias primates. Its a stirring reminder of the immense
variety of these remarkable animals; and the precarious position so many of them are in.

ABSTRACT
The present paper summarises and updates information on the taxonomy and status of Asian non-human primates from a new
multi-author synthesis. For each species we include taxonomic authority, species type locality, subspecies, current distribution
and conservation status. Including taxa described since the synthesis was published, the Asian non-human primate fauna
comprises 119 species and 183 taxa, in 22 Asian countries. We give a breakdown of species by country, by conservation
status category, and the number of species per status category in each family and genus. Of the 113 Asian primate species
that have been assessed, 17 (15%) are Critically Endangered, 45 (40%) are Endangered and 25 (22%) are Vulnerable. The most
endangered genera are Rhinopithecus, Pygathrix, Nasalis, Simias, Hylobates, Nomascus, Symphalangus and Pongo.
Keywords: Asian primates, taxonomy, conservation status, threatened fauna

INTRODUCTION
To conserve the non-human primate fauna of Asia,
there has long been a need for an accessible, updated
checklist of recognised taxa. Volume 3 (Primates) of
The Handbook of the Mammals of the World, edited
by Russell A. Mittermeier, Anthony B. Rylands and Don
E. Wilson, was published in April 2013 (Mittermeier et
al., 2013). The book integrates new information on
primates, including data on morphology, behaviour,
acoustics, and genetics. For each primate family, there
is an introductory section with reviews of systematics,
morphology, habitat, general habits, communication,
food and feeding, breeding, movements, home range
and social organization, relationship with humans, and
conservation status, followed by species accounts
with more detailed information, along with illustrations

(by Stephen D. Nash) of each.
According to the book, the order Primates comprises
16 families, 78 genera, 480 species and 682 taxa. In
Asia, this multi-author compilation recognizes five
families, 19 genera, 116 species and 179 taxa of nonhuman primates. Since it went to press, the Bornean
Slow Loris (Nycticebus menagensis) has been split into
four species (Munds et al., 2013) and a new subspecies of Hoolock gibbon (Hoolock hoolock mishmiensis
Choudhury, 2013) has been described; thus, non-human primates in Asia now comprise 119 species and
183 taxa.

There remained a need to make this information
widely available. In the following, we give an overview
of non-human primates in Asia, based on The Handbook of the Mammals of the World and the updated
taxonomy on Nycticebus and Hoolock, including taxonomic authorities, type localities, subspecies, current
distribution and conservation status. For consistency
and clarity, we also suggest new common names for
some taxa, mainly subspecies. We further list species
in each country, species in each conservation status
category (based on IUCN, 2013), and the number of
species per status category in each family and genus.
Although formal punctuation is retained for taxonomic
purposes (scientific names and author initials), we have
omitted this for general use (notably compass directions) for ease of reading. For place names, we have
tried to standardise to English geographic terms (Island, River, Lake), with the exception of those in which
the local term is part of its internationally familiar name;
by way of explanation Gunung (Malay) = Mountain
or Mt; Batang (Malay) = River; Shan (Chinese) =
Mountain; Jiang (Chinese) = River.
1. Family Lorisidae
1.1. Genus Loris
1.1.1. Red Slender Loris Loris tardigradus (Linnaeus,
1758)
Type locality: Ceylon [= Sri Lanka].
Subspecies/colour variants: 2 subspecies are recognized: Lowland Red Slender Loris L. t. tardigradus (Linnaeus, 1758); Horton Plains Red Slender
Loris L. t. nycticeboides Hill, 1942, but this is in
need of revision, and more species may exist; for
example, the Horton Plains Slender Loris may be
specifically distinct. In L. t. tardigradus,there are
variants in coloration and head form.
Distribution: L. t. tardigradus: SW Sri Lanka (Western and Southern provinces), from the outskirts of
Colombo in the N to Ranna in the S, up to 470
m; L. t. nycticeboides: Sri Lanka (Central Province

throughout the lower foothills at an average elevation of 900 m; L. l. malabaricus: SW India (Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu states), found in the
wet forests of the Western Ghats up to 1200 m;
L. l. nordicus: NC and E Sri Lanka throughout the
lowland dry zone; the extent of its distribution to
SE Sri Lanka is uncertain.
Conservation status: Least Concern; L. l. lydekkerianus, L. l. malabaricus Near Threatened; L. l.
grandis, L. l. nordicus Endangered.

it remains to be seen whether they are valid subspecies, or perhaps distinct species, or perhaps
not valid at all. They are as follows: Philippine Tarsier C. s. syrichta (Linnaeus, 1758); Mindanao Tarsier C. s. carbonarius (Heude, 1898); Bohol Tarsier
C. s. fraterculus (G.S. Miller, 1911). It may be that
other taxa remain to be identified.
Distribution: C. s. syrichta: Eastern Visayas in SE
Philippines (Leyte, Samar, Dinagat, Biliran and
Maripipi islands), but by default, all other areas
within the distribution of C. syrichta, except for
Mindanao and Bohol islands; C. s. carbonarius:
SE Philippines (Mindanao), some known locations
in the N, C and SW provinces of Bukidnon, Davao
del Norte, Davao del Sur, Misamis Occidental,
Misamis Oriental, South Cotabato, Zamboanga
del Norte, and Zamboanga del Sur, although presumably extirpated in many places today; also in
Basilan Island; C. s. fraterculus: SE Philippines on
Bohol Island.
Conservation status: Near Threatened (as Tarsius

separately assessed.
2.3. Genus Cephalopachus
2.3.1. Western Tarsier Cephalopachus bancanus
(Horsfield, 1821)
Type locality: Indonesia, South-east Sumatra, Bangka Island.
Subspecies/colour variants: 4 subspecies are con-

ventionally recognized; they have not been revised
since their original descriptions, and it remains to
be seen whether they are valid subspecies, or
distinct species; or perhaps not valid at all. They
are: Horsfields Tarsier C. b. bancanus (Horsfield,
1821); Bornean Tarsier C. b. borneanus (Elliot,
1910); Natuna Islands Tarsier C. b. natunensis
(Chasen, 1940); and the Belitung Tarsier C. b.
saltator (Elliot, 1910). The possibility of hitherto
unidentified taxa, especially on Borneo, remains
to be studied.

Island; the precise distribution on Sumatra is
unknown, but most likely delimited by the Musi
River in the N; C. b. borneanus: Borneo and
Karimata Island (off the SW coast of Borneo); C.
b. natunensis: Serasan Island, one of the South
Natuna Islands (just off the W coast of Borneo)

Instructions to Contributors
Scope
This journal aims to provide information relating to conservation of the primates of Asia. We welcome manuscripts on any relevant
subject, including taxonomy and genetics, biogeography and distribution, ecology and behaviour, active threats and primate-human
interactions. Submissions may include full articles, short articles and book reviews.
Submissions
Manuscripts and all editorial correspondence should be directed to Dr Ramesh Boonratana (rbz@loxinfo.co.th). Manuscripts are to be
submitted to the journal on the understanding that they have not been published previously and are not being considered for publication elsewhere. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that the submitted manuscript has been seen and approved by all
co-contributors, and the covering letter accompanying it should be signed to this effect. It is also the responsibility of the contributor to
ensure that manuscripts emanating from a particular institution are submitted with the approval of the necessary authority. The editors
retain the right to modify the style and the length of a contribution and to decide the time of publication; they will endeavour to communicate any changes to the contributors. The full name and address of each contributor should be included. Please avoid the use of
unexplained abbreviations and acronyms.
Contributions
Manuscripts should be submitted in UK English. Manuscripts must be in electronic format in MS-Word or a compatible program, doublespaced and left-justified. The first page should include a concise title, up to seven keywords not found in the title, full names and addresses of all authors, current addresses if different, e-mail addresses, and indication to whom queries and proofs should be sent. In-text
citations should use comma and ampersand and follow first chronological, then alphabetical, sequence: (Matsuzawa & MacKinnon, 1980;
Marsh, 1998; Matsuzawa, 1998a, 1998b). All pages including tables should be numbered. Footnotes should be avoided.
Full articles will be sent out for peer-review and should contain significant new findings. They should not exceed about 20 pages in
length (double-spaced), including references. Please include an abstract of no more than 200 words, placing the work in conservation
context and summarising what it has contributed, and subheadings (e.g. Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References) as appropriate.
Taxonomy
Scientific nomenclature should be used at first mention of any species or subspecies. Nomenclature should include taxonomic authority
(at first mention) as currently recognised by IUCN, e.g. Northern Pigtailed Macaque Macaca leonina (Blyth) (see www.iucnredlist.org).
Authors are referred to The Plant List (www.theplantlist.org) for up-to-date plant nomenclature.
Numbers
Measurements should always be metric, or where this is inappropriate, the metric equivalents given in parentheses. Time should be
designated in the 24-hour system (as e.g. 17:30 h) and date in the European system (e.g. 7 December 2011). Summary statistics should
include measures of both central tendency and dispersion where appropriate, e.g. means and standard deviations (SD). Reports of
all statistical tests should include the name of the statistical test, the name and value of the test statistic, the degrees of freedom, the
probability value used to determine significance and the authors interpretation. Probabilities should be reported as exact values if not
significant, otherwise rounded off to either p<0.05, 0.01 or 0.001.
Figures, maps and tables
Articles may include photographs, high-quality figures, high-quality maps and tables. Please keep these to a minimum. We stress the
importance of providing maps which are publishable, with clear explanation of features shown, scale and orientation. Please number
tables and figures (as Table 1, Fig. 1 etc.) and provide clear concise captions.
