Definition of cercopithecine in English: cercopithecinenounˌsəːkə(ʊ)ˈpɪθɪsiːnˌsərkōˈpiTHəˌsīn Zoology An Old World monkey of a group that includes the macaques, mangabeys, baboons, and guenons. 〔动〕（分布于旧大陆的）猴 Subfamily Cercopithecinae, family Cercopithecidae Example sentencesExamples - It appears that mandrill groups are based on stable matrilines, with female philopatry and dispersing males, as in the majority of cercopithecines.
- A lot more is known about cercopithecines, such as macaques, baboons and vervets, because many of them are ground-dwelling monkeys which are relatively easy to study.
- Notably, the postcrania of these fossil cercopithecines and colobines are quite similar (unlike the situation today) and suggest semi-terrestrial habits.
- There were five primate lineages studied here: hominoids, colobines, cercopithecines, platyrrhines (New World monkeys), and lemurs.
- The two top models differ in class allocation for a single branch - the ancestor of colobines and cercopithecines.
OriginFrom modern Latin Cercopithecinae (plural), based on Greek kerkopithēkos 'long-tailed monkey', from kerkos 'tail' + pithēkos 'ape'.
