NOTE - The exact number of species is a matter of debate and occasionally changes! For example, many consider the Buton macaque (Macaca brunnescens) to be a subspecies of the booted macaque (Macaca ochreata). Here, we've used the IUCN Red List as our guide, and listed the Buton macaque as a distinct species. In May 2022, a new macaque species, the Sela macaque, was described. We will add more information on the Sela macaque as it becomes available.
