L'Hoest's monkey (''Cercopithecus lhoesti''), or mountain monkey, is a guenon found in the upper eastern Congo basin. They mostly live in mountainous forest areas in small, female-dominated groups. They have a dark coat and can be distinguished by a characteristic white beard. ==Taxonomy== L'Hoest's monkey is currently classified as a member of the genus ''Cercopithecus'', and closely resembles Hamlyn's monkey (''C. hamlyni'') in size and distribution. Formerly, L'Hoest's monkey included the taxon ''preussi'' from the Gulf of Guinea region as a subspecies, but it is now considered a separate species, Preuss's monkey (''C. preussi''). Together with the sun-tailed monkey (''C. solatus''), these make up the ''C. lhoesti'' group.〔 Molecular studies published by Anthony Tosi in 2003 have raised doubts about the current classification of L'Hoest's monkey as a member of the genus ''Cercopithecus''. The studies indicated that L'Hoest's monkey (along with the others in its species group) is more closely related to the vervet monkeys of the genus ''Chlorocebus'' and the patas monkey (genus ''Erythrocebus'') than to the other guenons of the genus ''Cercopithecus''. It is not yet clear how the taxonomic situation will be resolved. Proposed solutions include moving both L'Hoest's monkey and the patas monkey into the genus ''Chlorocebus'' or moving just L'Hoest's monkey into a new genus, ''Allochrocebus''.〔
