The Laotian langur or white-browed black langur (Trachypithecus laotum) is a species of primate in the Cercopithecidae family. It is endemic to Laos. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.[2] Genetically the Indochinese black and Hatinh langurs are very close to the Laotian Langur, and consequently it has been suggested they should be considered subspecies of it.[3][4]
