Comments: In the General catalog, the specimen ZMB 32805 (= A5659) is marked as the type of Cercocebus albigena ugandae Matschie, 1913 . However, that specimen was collected by O. Neumann in Chagwe and brought to the Museum Berlin by Herzog Adolf Friedrich of Mecklenburg. Matschie's description is based on an old male collected by Grauer in Entebbe. Therefore ZMB 32805 cannot be the holotype.
