COMMENTS: Includes chrysogaster ; separated from galeritus by Groves (19786). A mangabey, probably of this species, was recently discovered in Uzungwa Mtns, E Tanzania. Wasser (1985) used the name sanje, and IUCN listed Cercocebus galeritus sanje as Endangered in Tanzania, but I have been unable to locate a valid description; no museum specimens exist.
