<div class="tree_txt_unlinked"><p>Cercopithecines are found in Africa, with one genus, <em>Macaca</em>,
radiated to Asia and parts of Europe. Group members range widely in
body size and degree of arboreality. Cercopithecines are recognizable
by their bilophodont lower molars, narrow nose and palate, and
relatively long trunk. However, compared to colobines, cercopithecines
are considered more generalized in their morphology and diet. They have
a narrower interorbital region and broader incisors than colobines.
They have a shallow jaw, low cusped molars, and a "simple" unspecialized
stomach for eating a variety of foods. The fore- and hind-limbs of
cercopithecines are more similar in length than those of colobines.</p>
