Preferred Label : Erythrocebus;
Définition CISMeF : Erythrocebus is a genus of Old World monkey. All three species in this genus are found
in Africa, and are known as patas monkeys. While previously considered a monotypic
genus containing just E. patas, a 2017 review argued that, based on morphological
evidence and heavy geographic separation between taxa, E. patas should be split back
into distinct species as recognised in the 19th century. There are three species recognized:
Southern patas monkey (Erythrocebus baumstarki) Common patas monkey (Erythrocebus
patas) Blue Nile patas monkey (Erythrocebus poliophaeus) (source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythrocebus).;
