provided by wikipedia EN

The Lomami red colobus (Piliocolobus parmentieri) is a type 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]
