patas monkey
The patas monkey (''Erythrocebus patas''), also known as the wadi monkey or hussar monkey, is a ground-dwelling monkey distributed over semi-arid areas of West Africa, and into East Africa. It is the only species classified in the genus ''Erythrocebus''. Recent phylogenetic evidence indicates that it is the closest relative of the vervet monkey (''Chlorocebus aethiops''), suggesting nomenclatural revision.
== Taxonomy ==
There is some confusion surrounding the number of valid subspecies, with some listing four, and others listing two; the western ''Erythrocebus patas patas'' (Common patas; with a black nose) and the eastern ''Erythrocebus patas pyrrhonotus'' (Nisnas; with a white nose). Others, however, have suggested that at least some of the features used to separate these subspecies are merely variations in the female's facial pattern during pregnancy.〔 On the other hand, the change in the nose during pregnancy occurs only in the West African populations.
