Oates Roloway monkey (right) (Cercopithecus diana roloway) and Diana monkey (left) (Cercopithecus diana diana) (Illustrations: Stephen D. Nash) There are two subspecies of Cercopithecus diana, both have failed to confirm the presence of these monkeys in highly attractive, arboreal monkeys that inhabit the any reserves in western Ghana, including Bia National Upper Guinean forests of West Africa (Grubb et al. Park, Krokosua Hills Forest Reserve, Subri River Forest 2003). The roloway subspecies is distinguished by its Reserve and Dadieso Forest Reserve (Oates 2006; broad white brow line, long white beard and yellow Gatti 2010; Buzzard and Parker 2012; Wiafe 2013), thighs. Groves (2001) considers the two subspecies to although it is possible that the Ankasa Conservation be sufficiently distinct to be regarded as full species. Of Area still contains a few individuals (Magnuson 2003; the two forms, the roloway, which is known from Ghana Gatti 2010). Community-controlled forests along and central and eastern Côte d’Ivoire, is more seriously the Tano River (referred to as the “Kwabre Forest”) threatened with extinction; it is rated as Endangered in in the far southwestern corner of the country are the the current IUCN Red List (Oates et al. 2008), but its only place in Ghana at which any roloways have been status should now be upgraded to Critically Endangered. reported as seen by scientists or conservationists in the last decade.
