The Colobinae or leaf-eating monkeys are a subfamily of the Old World monkey family that includes 61 species in 11 genera, including the black-and-white colobus, the large-nosed proboscis monkey, and the gray langurs.

The Colobinae are a subfamily of Old World monkeys. [1] The family includes 61 species in 11 genera, including the Colobus monkeys, the large-nosed proboscis monkey, and the grey langurs. Some classifications split the colobine monkeys into …

Old World monkeys (family Cercopithecidae) are divided into two main groups, leaf-monkeys (subfamily Colobinae) and cheek-pouched monkeys (subfamily Cercopithecinae). Defining features of these two subfamilies reflect feeding habits.

Colobinae: Tribe: Colobini Jerdon, 1867: Genera See text Colobini is a tribe of Old World monkeys that includes all of the black-and-white colobus, red colobus, and olive colobus monkeys. [1] [2] Classification. Family Cercopithecidae. Subfamily …

The Colobinae of Africa and Asia are perhaps best known for their specialized stomachs, which allow them to subsist on leafier and more chem-ically defended diets than most other primates (Kay and Davies, 1994; Oates et al., 1994). Many colobines are also renowned for their shy and in-

Colobinae. This subfamily containing the colobus and leaf monkeys contains 42 species in seven genera. Their diet consists mainly of leaves. Colobines are foregut fermenters.

In this chapter, I give an overview of the taxonomic classification of living colobine monkeys, primate subfamily Colobinae. With ten genera, 78 species and 124 taxa (species and subspecies) currently recognized, colobines are one of the most diverse primate subfamilies.

In the present study, we revisit the contentious relationships within the Asian and African Colobinae by analyzing 44 nuclear non-coding genes (>23 kb) and mitochondrial (mt) genome sequences from 14 colobine and 4 non-colobine primates.

The Colobinae are a subfamily of the Old World monkey family that includes 61 species in 11 genera, including the black-and-white colobus, the large-nosed proboscis monkey, and the gray langurs. Some classifications split the colobine monkeys into two tribes, while others split them into three groups.
