GUEREZA

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 670 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GRA-GUI
GUEREZA , the native name of a
long
 -tailed, black and
white
  Abyssinian
monkey
 , Colobus guereza (or C. abyssinicus), characterized by the
white
  hairs forming a
long
  pendent mantle. Other
east
 
African
  monkeys with a similar type of colouring, which, together with the wholly black west
African
  C. satanas, collectively constitute the subgenus Guereza, may be included under the same
title
 ; and the name may be further extended to embrace all the African thumbless monkeys of the genus Colobus. These monkeys are the African representatives of the Indo-Malay langurs (Semnopithecus), with which they agree in their slender build, long limbs and tail, and complex stomachs, although differing by the rudimentary thumb. The members of the subgenus Guereza present a transition from a wholly black animal (C. satanas) to one (C. caudatus) in which the sides of the face are white, and the whole flanks, as well as the tail, clothed with a long fringe of pure white hairs.
