SPECIES Macaca tonkeana
| Author: | Meyer, 1899. | | Citation: | Abh. Zool. Anthrop.-Ethnology. Mus. Dresden, 7(7): 3. | | Common Name: | Tonkean Macaque | | Type Locality: | Indonesia, Sulawesi Tengah, Tonkean. | | Distribution: | C Sulawesi, south to Latimojong, north to the base of the northern peninsula, between Palu and Parigi (Indonesia); Togian Isls (Indonesia). | | Status: | CITES – Appendix II; IUCN – Lower Risk (nt). | | Comments: | M. nemestrina species group. Formerly included in Cynopithecus; see Fooden (1969:106-115). According to Froehlich et al. (1998), the macaques of the Balantak Mtns on the E peninsula of Sulawesi constitute a separate species from those of the main part of the range; in this case, the name tonkeana would apply to the Balantak form. Whether one of the other synonyms applies to the better-known form from the western part of Central Sulawesi is unclear. Froehlich et al. (1998) said that togeanus (from the Togian Isl) is a hybrid swarm between the two. Does not include hecki; see Groves (2001c). |
