The Javan lutung Trachypithecus auratus,[1] also known as the ebony lutung and Javan langur, is an Old World monkey from the Colobinae subfamily. It is most commonly glossy black with a brownish tinge to its legs, sides, and `sideburns`.[3] It is found on and endemic to the island of Java, as well as on several of the surrounding Indonesian islands. The Latin word auratus in its scientific name means `golden`, and refers to a less common color variant. Note that the common name golden langur is used for a different species.
