Piliocolobus foai parmentierorum |
The Lomami red colobus (Piliocolobus parmentieri) is a species of red colobus monkey from central Africa. Historically, it had been treated as a subspecies of the Central African red colobus (P. foai), [3] but more recent taxonomies generally treat it as a separate species. [4] [5] [2]
The Lomani red colobus has a limited range in lowland tropical rainforest between the Lomani River and the Lualaba River in central Democratic Republic of the Congo. [4] Its range extends as far south as the Ruiki River and the Lutanga River. [4] It eats leaves, fruit, flowers, buds and possibly seeds. [4] [2] Males weigh about 9 kg (20 lb), and females weigh about 7.5 kg (17 lb). [4] [2]
