COMMENT: Dandelot, 1974, Part 3: 14, included Allenopithecus , Erythrocebus , and Miopithecus in this genus; but see Groves, 1978, Primates , 19:1 -34, who considered them to be distinct genera; Szalay and Delson, 1979, considered Miopithecus a subgenus of Cercopithecus , and are followed here. Van Gelder, 1977, Am. Mus. Novit., 2635:8, included Cercocebus , Papio , and Theropithecus in this genus, but see Groves, 1978, Primates , 19:1 -34; Ansell, 1978:33; and Cronin and Meikle, 1979, Syst. Zool., 28: 259. Designated as a subgroup of Simia by Linnaeus; type species, S. diana , designated by Stiles and Orleman, 1926, J. Mammal., 7: 52. Simia was suppressed by Opinion 114 of the ICZN.
