- Abstract
Surveys we conducted between April 2012 and February 2014, and inquiries made among the local population, confirmed the occurrence of the King Colobus (Colobus polykomos) in the Lebekere subprefecture, in the northern sector of the Fouta Djallon mountain range, Guinea. This is the first time C. polykomos has been verified in this region, extending the species boundaries of the known distribution 125 km further to the northeast. Twenty-nine direct observations of the species were recorded. All observations of C. polykomos were made in patches of semi-deciduous forest. The ongoing loss and fragmentation of this habitat suggest that the population is in decline.
