The white-eyelid mangabeys are West-African Old World monkeys, belonging to the genus Cercocebus. They are characterized by their bare, upper eye-lids which are lighter than their facial skin colouring, and the uniformly coloured hairs of the fur. Another genus of mangabeys, Lophocebus was once thought to be very closely, so much so that all the species were in one genera. However, it is now understood that Lophocebus species are more closely related to the baboons in genus Papio, while the Cercocebus species are more closely related to the Mandrill.
