Old World monkeys
Refers to monkeys that live in the Old World continents of Africa and Asia. They are classified in the primate order Cercopithecidae, a family of monkeys that is further divided into two subfamilies: Cercopithecinae and Colobinae. The former includes macaques, mangabeys, baboons, and guenons, while the latter includes colobus monkeys and langurs. Old World monkeys, along with New World monkeys and the superfamily Hominoidea, are one of the pillars that make up the anthropoid order.
