Erythrocebus

In today's world, Erythrocebus has become a topic of great relevance and interest to a wide spectrum of the public. Since its emergence, Erythrocebus has impacted people's lives in various ways, as well as the development of society as a whole. In this article, we will explore the different facets of Erythrocebus and its influence on the world today. From its origin to its evolution, through its implications in different areas, Erythrocebus has managed to capture the attention of millions of people around the world. Additionally, we will examine the future prospects of Erythrocebus and how these could shape the reality we face in the years to come.

Species

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.
