Crested mangabey
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,  Lophocebus species are now understood to be 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
There are two species in this genus, with a total of six subspecies. In 2007, Colin Groves described a new subspecies and elevated the L. albigena subspecies to full species level, but the elevation was not widely accepted. References
