烏葉猴屬（學名Trachypithecus），猴科的一屬。一部分生活在東南亞地區，包括華南、印度東北部、婆羅洲、泰國、爪哇島和峇里島；另一部分則生活在印度南部和斯里蘭卡。 烏葉猴屬俗稱「lutung」，來自巽他語，意思就是「黑色」，而這也是烏葉猴屬跟在印度次大陸上的其他疣猴亞科物種的最主要分別[1]。 種類 烏葉猴屬共有17種，可作以下再分類： 烏葉猴屬 Trachypithecus T. vetulus group 紫臉葉猴 Trachypithecus vetulus 黑烏葉猴 Trachypithecus johnii T. cristatus group 烏葉猴 Trachypithecus auratus 銀色烏葉猴 Trachypithecus cristatus Trachypithecus germaini Trachypithecus barbei T. obscurus group 鬱烏葉猴 Trachypithecus obscurus 菲氏葉猴 Trachypithecus phayrei T. pileatus group 戴帽葉猴 Trachypithecus pileatus Trachypithecus shortridgei 金色烏葉猴 Trachypithecus geei T. francoisi group 黑葉猴, Trachypithecus francoisi Hatinh langur, Trachypithecus hatinhensis 白頭葉猴, Trachypithecus poliocephalus 老撾烏葉猴, Trachypithecus laotum Delacour's langur, Trachypithecus delacouri Indochinese black langur, Trachypithecus ebenus 演化 一種銀色烏葉猴（Trachypithecus cristatus robustus）的頭骨。 遺傳學分析顯示現代烏葉猴屬物種的祖先在超過300萬年前的上新世後期與其他物種分化，而現時屬內各物種很可能是受到在更新世時的冰河時期居住環境轉變而分化[2]。現時最古老的烏葉猴屬化石清楚認定生活於更新世中期的越南及老撾；較晚期時，在泰國、爪哇島及蘇門答臘都有發現。與本屬物種關係最密切的其他物種可能是長尾葉猴屬或葉猴屬，但由於這些屬的物種在最近的演化史有經歷過雜化，其具體關係至今仍然不太清楚[1]。 參考資料 ^ 1.0 1.1 Harding, L.E.

Trachypithecus is a genus of Old World monkeys containing species known as lutungs, langurs, or leaf monkeys. Their range is much of Southeast Asia (northeast India, Vietnam, southern China, Borneo, Thailand, Java, and Bali).
The name "lutung" comes from the Sundanese language meaning "blackness", ultimately from Proto-Austronesian *luCuŋ (which originally referred to the Formosan rock macaque); it is preferred in one paper because the authors wanted the name langurs to only refer to monkeys in the genus Semnopithecus, although some "lutungs" are now "langurs" again. The scientific name of the genus comes from the Ancient Greek τραχύς (trakhús), meaning "rough", and πίθηκος (píthēkos), meaning "monkey".
