The Siberut macaque (Macaca siberu) is a vulnerable species of macaque, which is endemic to Siberut Island in Indonesia.[1] It was formerly considered conspecific with the Pagai Island macaque (M. pagensis) which is overall paler in color, but this arrangement was polyphyletic.[3] Both were formerly considered subspecies of the southern pig-tailed macaque (M. nemestrina).[1]
Taxonomy
The Siberut macaque was originally described by Fuentes and Olson in 1995 as a subspecies of the Pagai macaque, under the name Macaca pagensis siberu.[4] In 2002, Andrew Kitchener and Colin Groves re-examined the available specimens and compared the Siberut macaque with other members of the Macaca nemestrina group. They found it to be morphologically very distinct and concluded that it should be recognised as a separate species, Macaca siberu.[5]
