<div class="tree_txt_unlinked"><p>Recently discovered in 2005 in southern Tanzania, this primate was once considered a species in the genus <em>Lophocebus</em>. The highland mangabey is now considered a separate genus, based on molecular evidence that precludes its placement in <em>Lophocebus</em>.
Little is known about this species, but it is omnivorous, primarily
arboreal but comes down to the ground to move between trees, and
probably lives in multi-male multi-female groups.</p>
