Short summary
The Manyara monkey was described as a new subspecies of the Cercopithecus mitis species complex in 2020. We sequenced a part of its mitochondrial genome and reconstructed the phylogeny of the mitochondrial lineages. The reconstruction suggests that the Manyara monkey clusters in the youngest of three major C. mitis clades. Our data support the phylogeographic hypothesis of a west-east range expansion of gentle monkeys into eastern and southern Africa.
