Griffith's Silver Langur
Where does Griffith's Silver Langur (Trachypithecus villosus) fit into the Lutung taxonomy? We have an article for the species but I don't see it on the Trachypithecus species list. Rlendog (talk) 21:00, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Lutung → Trachypithecus – Lutung is not the term for all members of the genus Trachypithecus, it refers only to certain members of the genus whose common names have the term "lutung", whereas other members are called "langurs" (shared with Semnopithecus) or "leaf monkeys." If we look at Google Scholar results, it's clear that members of the genus are not defined by a single common name but is just referred to as a colobine. Even one source from 2022 suggests that T. germaini is referred to as either the Indochinese silvered langur or the Indochinese Lutung.1 Therefore, Trachypithecus is the most suitable article name for the page.
