Dusky leaf monkeys (Trachypithecus obscurus). Cercopithecoidea is a superfamily of primates.Members of this family are called cercopithecoids, or Old World monkeys, and include baboons, colobuses, guenons, lutungs, macaques, and other types of monkeys.
The order Primates consists of 505 extant species belonging to 81 genera. This does not include hybrid species or extinct prehistoric species. Modern molecular studies indicate that the 81 genera can be grouped into 16 families; these families are divided between two named suborders and are grouped in those suborders into named clades, and some of these families are subdivided into named ...
Black-and-white snub-nosed monkeys. The black-and-white snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti), [3] [4] also known as the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, [5] is a large black and white primate that lives only in the southern Chinese province of Yunnan, [6] where it is known to the locals as the Yunnan golden hair monkey (Chinese: 滇金丝猴) and the black-and-white snub-nosed monkey ...
