The crested mangabeys are West-African Old World monkeys belonging to the genus ''Lophocebus''. They tend to have dark skin, eyelids that match their facial skin, and crests of hair on their heads. Another genus of mangabeys, ''Cercocebus'', was once thought to be very closely related, so much so that all the species were placed in one genus. However, it is now understood that ''Lophocebus'' species are more closely related to the baboons in genus ''Papio'', while the ''Cercocebus'' species are more closely related to the mandrill. In 2006, the highland mangabey was moved from ''Lophocebus'' to a new genus, ''Rungwecebus''. ==Species== *Genus ''Lophocebus''〔〔 * *Grey-cheeked mangabey, ''Lophocebus albigena'' * *Black crested mangabey, ''Lophocebus aterrimus'' * *Opdenbosch's mangabey, ''Lophocebus opdenboschi'' * *Uganda mangabey, ''Lophocebus ugandae'' * *Johnston's mangabey, ''Lophocebus johnstoni'' * *Osman Hill's mangabey, ''Lophocebus osmani'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crested mangabey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
