Lophocebus ugandae is a species of Old World monkey found only in Uganda. This crested mangabey was previously thought to be just be a population of the Grey-cheeked Mangabey (L. albigena). Colin Groves has upgraded the Ugandan mangabeys into the new species L. ugandae on February 16, 2007. This species is dramatically smaller than the Grey-cheeked Mangabey, with a shorter skull and smaller face.[1]
