Placed in Cercopithecus by many authors, Chlorocebus aethiops is referred here to a separate genus, in accordance with several authorities. This species has often been involved in taxonomic debates, which have split it into as many as four species and 21 subspecies. It includes pygerythrus, sabaeus and tantalus, and also djiamdjiamensis (Djam-djam monkey) from the Ethiopian Bale Massif. Photographs of the species and subspecies listed here have been collected on one page for comparison purposes. Click here to see The Chlorocebus Species Problem.

Colobinae (Semnopithecus and Trachypithecus were Presbytis; Rhinopithecus = Pygathrix)
There is considerable disagreement over taxonomic arrangements of Colobus, Piliocolobus and Procolobus. Piliocolobus is often treated as a subgenus of one or the other genera. Some authors regard Piliocolobus badius the only valid species of that genus, according the other taxa subspecific status. The arrangement of Nowak in Walker is followed here. Most of the subspecies listed are considered to be endangered. |
