Discussion: Dandelot (1974:14) included Allenopithecus, Erythrocebus, and Miopithecus in this genus; but see Groves (1978 b) and Corbet and Hill (1980:89) who considered them to be distinct genera; Szalay and Delson (1979) and McKenna and Bell (1997) considered Miopithecus a subgenus of Cercopithecus. Van Gelder (1977 b:8) included Cercocebus, Papio, and Theropithecus in this genus, but see Groves (1978 b), Ansell (1978:33), and Cronin and Meikle (1979:259). Chlorocebus was separated by Groves (1989). Designated as a subgroup of Simia by Linnaeus; type species S. diana designated by Stiles and Orleman (1926:52). Simia was suppressed by Opinion 114 of the International Commision on Zoological Nomenclature (1929 b). The species groups are: (1) C. dryas group (monotypic), (2) C. diana group (diana, roloway), (3) C. mitis group (nictitans, mitis, doggetti, kandti, albogularis), (4) C. mona group (mona, campbelli, lowei, pogonias, wolfi, denti), (5) C. cephus group (petaurista, erythrogaster, sclateri, erythrotis, cephus, ascanius), (6) C. lhoesti group (lhoesti, preussi, solatus), (7) C. hamlyni group (monotypic), (8) C. neglectus group (monotypic).
