The Doucs or Douc Langurs make up the genus Pygathrix, which consists of these 3 species:

* Red-shanked douc, Pygathrix nemaeus
* Black-shanked douc, Pygathrix nigripes
* Gray-shanked douc, Pygathrix cinerea

Even though they are known as "Douc Langurs", they are in fact more closely related to the proboscis monkey and snub-nosed monkeys than to any of the langurs. They are part of the Colobinae subfamily of the Cercopithecidae family.
