Procolobus (Piliocolobus) badius (Kerr, 1792)

TAXONOMIC NOTES: This species may actually be comprised of as many as eight species (Dandelot, 1971).

PELAGE NOTES: All of the P. badius subspecies in this collection have a dark brown or black band across the brow extending to the ears. They are similar in body size and can be easily distinguished by their respective pelage colors which have variable amounts of black, brown, and red.

RANGE OF SPECIMENS: The seven subspecies of P. badius in this collection are representative of populations in north­central Liberia, western Ivory Coast, western DRC, northeastern DRC (the majority of the specimens was from this region), Uganda, and Tana River, Kenya. As noted for the subgenus Piliocolobus, the actual range of these monkeys extends across the African continent.
