This species is possibly rare and known to occur in the mixed evergreen forests of the Chittagong Hill Tracts in the southeast of Bangladesh. There is one recent record of the species is known in captivity of Bangabandhu Safari Park, Dulahazara. No other information is available to assess this species. Thus, it has been categorized as Data Deficient.

Habitat details as listed in assessment
It occurs in moist evergreen broadleaf forests, temperate forests, coniferous forests, scrub forests, rocky areas and mountain peaks.This species is solitary, arboreal, active and vocal animal. Capable of gliding a long distance between the trees. At rest it folds the flying membrane close to the body. Feeds on tree buds, leaves, bark saps, young branches and various fruits and nuts. Mating is believed to occur twice a year and the young are generally born during March-August. Usually 2-3 young are born per litter.

Assessment rationale/justification
According to Blyth (1863) this species was distributed in lower Bengal. Poché et al. (1982) mentioned that the Short Tailed Mole Rat (Nesokia indica) had the most restricted distribution being found only in well drained areas of northwestern Bangladesh. According to Khan (1982, 2015), Sarker and Sarker (1988) this species is uncommon in Bangladesh, but they did not mention local range or exact and probable location. Sufficient information is not available to assess this species. Thus, it is categorized as Data Deficient.

It occurs mainly in subtropical and tropical montane forests. It is most active at night when it forages alone and roosts during the day in groups. Feeds on vegetable matter of the forest, but rarely feeds on crops, insects and carrion (Grazimek et al. 2003). It is able to run, climb and swim. Digs tunnels for daytime shelter that can be about 3.5 m long (Storch and Parker 1990). Lays one or two offspring per litter and usually two litters per year. Gestation period is 100 to 110 days (Smith and Xie 2008). Both parents raise the young and actively guard them from enemies.

Old record says its presence in the forests of Cox's Bazar and may be present in Chittagong, Chittagong Hill Tracts and Sylhet (Ahsan 1984) because it is found in the bordering regions of Myanmar and India (Fooden 1976, Green 1978, Srivastava 1999).

Its habitat is restricted to certain moist deciduous forests and mixed evergreen forests of the east, northeast and southeast. In other countries it prefers evergreen forests of several kinds (Htun et al. 2008, Srivastava and Mohnot 2001). Stump-tailed Macaque is diurnal, arboreal and terrestrial in habit. It is an omnivore (Fooden 1990, Srivastava 1999). It lives in muti-male multi-female group varies geographically from 5-60 (Fooden, 1990). Females reach sexual maturity at about 4 years. Most of the mating occurs in October and November in the wild (Brereton 1994). Gestation period is about six months. Females begin to produce offspring between 4.5 and 5 years and reproduce until about 17 years (Fooden 1990, Ross 1992).
