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).
