The morphology of the humerus and femur was examined in three mangabey species (Cercocebus albigena, Cercocebus torquatus, Cercocebus galeritus) and three guenon species (Cercopithecus mitis, Cercopithecus mona, Cercopithecus aethiops).
Cercocebus albigena, Cercopithecus mitis, and Cercopithecus mona are strictly arboreal whereas Cercocebus torquatus, Cercocebus galeritus and Cercopithecus aethiops are more frequently utilize terrestrial substrates.
In Cercocebus torquatus and Cercocebus galeritus, joint movements tends to be restricted to the parasagittal plane emphasizing the economy of parasagittal excursion of the limbs.

However, whereas Rowe gives full generic status to Mandrillus, Theropithecus, Lophocebus and Pan, the phylogenetic classification that we use treats Mandrillus as a subgenus of Cercocebus, Theropithecus and Lophocebus as subgenera of Papio, and Pan as a subgenus of Homo.
