Crossword Genius

Monkey found in Israel or Islamabad (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loris

'monkey' is the definition.
(type of monkey)

'in israel or islamabad' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'LORIS' can be found hidden inside 'israel or islamabad'.

'found' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for loris that I've seen before include "Small nocturnal primate" , "Nocturnal primate of Southeast Asia (usually slender or slow)" , "lemur" , "Slow-moving nocturnal primate" , "Short-tailed mammal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
