The guenons (UK: / ɡ ə ˈ n ɒ n z /, US: / ˈ ɡ w ɛ n. ə n z /) are Old World monkeys of the genus Cercopithecus (/ ˌ s ɜːr k ə ˈ p ɪ θ ə k ə s /).Not all members of this genus have the word "guenon" in their common names; also, because of changes in scientific classification, some monkeys in other genera may have common names that include the word "guenon".
Members of this family are called cercopithecoids, or Old World monkeys, and include baboons, colobuses, guenons, lutungs, macaques, and other types of monkeys. Cercopithecoidea contains only a single family, Cercopithecidae , and includes nearly half of the species in the suborder Haplorhini , itself one of two suborders in the order Primates.
