*Very large, sexually dimorphic monkeys; long molars and broad incisors; sexually dimorphic canines; honing triad; long snout, pronounced brow ridges, limbs equal in length, short digits, rel. short tails and large ischial callosities; lots of interbreeding at the boundaries between species.

**Large forest monkeys from West . Extremely sexually dimorphic in size and coloration. Long muzzles w/ pronounced maxillary ridges; limbs of equal length. Very short tails

***Large, extremely sexually dimorphic monkeys; males have shaggy manes & whiskers; both sexes have red hourglass patches on chest and in females these are outlined w/ white vesicles. Very distinctive molar teeth characterized by complex enamel folds, very large canines, short face. Long thumb rel to other digits, related to seed eating.

@ West & East Africa; Large, dimorphic monkeys, w/ very large teeth, convex nasal bones, wide interorbital pillar, long ectotympanic, upright mandibular ramus. Argued by some to be closely related to mandrills and drills

# Central Africa; Smaller, less dimorphic species, w/ smaller teeth, superiorly pinched interorbital pillar, inferiorly curving zygomatic arch, elongated skull. Argued by some to be closely related to baboons and geladas

@ -like molars suggest frugivory – otherwise unknown; considered most primitive of group.

**Smallest OWM – many features may be function of neoteny

# Extremely specialized for terrestrial life in open grasslands. Medium-sized, very sexually dimorphic; narrow hands and feet w/ short digits and reduced thumb and big toe.

*most species average about 4-5kg, moderate sexual dimorphism, sexually dimorphic canines, rel. narrow molars, lack hypoconulid on third molar, short snouts, longer hind limbs than forelimbs, long tails. Females actively defend territory. Often feed and travel in mixed species groups, perhaps as antipredator strategy.
