The ovarian morphology and the pattern of follicular development and atresia have been described for the dusky leaf monkey, Presbytis obscura, on the basis of a study of material from 44 female monkeys collected at various stages of the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and lactation. Marked differences were found in the dimensions of many ovarian components between this monkey and the other species of langur previously described. During follicular development the oocyte increased in diameter from 28 micrometer in the primordial follicle to a maximum of 85 micrometer in a pre-ovulatory follicle measuring 8.0 x 4.0 x 7.0 mm. The majority of developing follicles, however, underwent atresia with the theca interna transforming into interstitial tissue. Although present in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, this tissue was most pronounced during early pregnancy, at a time when lutealisation also occurred, resulting in the formation of corpora lutea atretica. These findings have been discussed in relation to other catarrhine primates.
基于对44只处于月经周期、怀孕和哺乳期不同阶段的雌性叶猴的研究材料，已对黑叶猴（Presbytis obscura）的卵巢形态、卵泡发育和闭锁模式进行了描述。在该叶猴与先前描述的其他叶猴物种之间，发现许多卵巢成分的尺寸存在明显差异。在卵泡发育过程中，卵母细胞直径从原始卵泡中的28微米增加到排卵前卵泡（直径8.0×4.0×7.0毫米）中的最大85微米。然而，大多数发育中的卵泡会发生闭锁，卵泡内膜转化为间质组织。尽管该组织存在于月经周期的卵泡期，但在妊娠早期最为明显，此时也会发生黄体化，导致闭锁黄体的形成。已结合其他狭鼻猴灵长类动物对这些发现进行了讨论。
