Mangabeys are West-African monkeys, belonging to the either of the genera Cercocebus and Lophocebus. The two genera were once thought to be very closely related, 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.

The more typical representatives of Cercocebus, also known as the white-eyelid mangabeys, are characterized by their bare, upper eye-lids which are lighter than their facial skin colouring, and the uniformly coloured hairs of the fur. Members of Lophocebus, the crested mangabeys, tend to have dark skin, eyelids that match their facial skin, and crests of hair on their heads.

San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Mangabey (1248 words)
White-eyelid mangabeys are most closely related to mandrills and drills, and the males are much larger than the females; crested mangabeys are more closely related to baboons and geladas and both males and females are about the same size.
All mangabeys have tails that are longer than their bodies, providing balance for them as they scamper through the rain forest canopy.
However, white-eyelid mangabeys are also comfortable on the ground, traveling on their hands and feet between patches of forest or to forage in the leaf litter for tasty food items.
New Primate Discovered in Mountain Forests of Tanzania (1165 words)
From field observations and detailed photography, the scientists have concluded that the highland mangabey is a little under 3-feet (1-meter) long--6.5 feet (2-meters) including tail--has long, brown fur, an off-white chest and tail, and fl skin.
The highland mangabey's arboreal nature and uniformly fl face and eyelids are characteristic of one of two mangabey genera, Lophocebus, which is most closely related to baboons.
This mangabey is one of three threatened monkey species that researchers have identified in the Udzungwas, a testament to the biologically rich but fragile ecosystems of the region.
