  Subfamily Cercopithecinae or Old World monkeys
One of the chief characteristics of the subfamily Cercopithecinae is the cheek pouches, which are lacking in the members of the subfamily Colobinae.
Ovulation and luteinization are spontaneous in nonhuman primates, and the OWM have a menstrual cycle that in some species of Cercopithecinae is notable for the external signs of their cyclicity.
Despite these differences, the common morphotype of the humerus and femur in the Cercopithecinae is exhibited in both Cercocebus and Cercopithecus, contrasting with the morphology shown by other primates (Colobinae, Hominoidea and Cebidae).

In contrast, the subfamily Cercopithecinae, containing the baboons, macaques, guenons, and others, is largely African, with two genera, Papio and Macaca, also occurring in Asia, the latter being widespread.
Opposability is an adaptation for grasping and for the finer manipulation of objects; it also permits eating with one hand, in contrast to the manner of rodents or other animals that must hold food with two hands.
Two specimens, a frontal bone and an isolated tooth, are known from the 19-million-year-old site at Napak, Uganda, and have been claimed to show that the two cercopithecoid subfamilies, Cercopithecinae (represented by the molar) and Colobinae (represented by the frontal), were already in existence at that time; this is far from certain, however.

The Cercopithecinae are represented by such Asian terrestrial forms as the macaque, the baboon, the gelada, and the patas monkey.
In some respects the development of the Cercopithecinae is superior to that of the leaf eaters.
The improved thumb opposability of Cercopithecinae is a valuable aid to manipulation of the environment.

The trace element intake was determined in 24 clinically healthy individuals of 5 species of Cercopithecinae kept in 8 groups in Leipzig Zoo.
Although the mean body mass of the animals only amounted to 8 % of the body mass of humans, they had a mean daily dry matter intake of 16 — 42 % and a mean daily Fe intake of 48 — 128 % of that of humans.
Since the animals were clinically healthy and since the reproduction was not disturbed, a mean content of 60 mg Fe kg feed dry matter is regarded as meeting the requirement.

Within the Colobinae, the living African colobids are further represented by 3 genera, Colobus or fl and white colobus, Piliocolobus or red colobus and Procolobus or olive colobus.
The Cercopithecinae subfamily comprises all the non-Colobinae African monkeys and is further subdivided into two main tribes: Papionini or baboon-macaques and Cercopithecini or guenons.
Screening of the other sympatric species from the Cercopithecinae and Colobinae subfamilies is also required, ex.

 Investigate Biodiversity - Old World Monkeys
Sometimes referred to as catarrhines, these monkeys have narrow downward pointing nostrils, longer hind limbs than fore limbs, flattened nails on all digits, prominent ischial callosities (buttocks pads) and none have prehensile tails.
They are divided into two subfamilies, the Cercopithecinae (cheek-pouched monkeys) and the Colobinae (leaf-eating monkeys), primarily due to dietary adaptations.
Molars with rounded low cusps, a deep jaw, orbits which are close together, cheek pouches, a relatively short tail, limbs the same size, and well developed thumbs distinguish the Cercopithecinae from the African Colobus and the Asian Langurs of the Colobinae.

To aid in digestion, particularly for hard to digest leaves, they have a multipart, complex stomach.

Among Cercopithecidae monkeys (Old World monkeys), two groups are recognized, the Colobinae and Cercopithecinae and so far, all Cercopithecidae monkeys from which lentiviruses have been isolated belong to the Cercopithecinae subfamily.
Therefore, SIVcol from Colobus (Colobus guereza) monkey is the first primate lentivirus identified in the Colobinae subfamily.
