Family CERCOPITHECID^. 



Genus PITH ECUS Geoffrey and Cuvier. 



1795. Pithecus Geoffroy and Cuviee, Mag. Encycl., 3, 462. Type. — ' 



Medium sized monkeys commonly known as macaques. Phil- 

 ippine species with long tails, about as long as head and body. 



Pithecus cagayanus (Meams). 



1905. Cynomolgus cagayanus Mearns, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 28, 431. 



Type locality. — Cagayan Sulu Island, Sulu Sea. Cagayan 

 Sulu (Meams). 



'Thomas, Proc. Zool. Soc. London (1911), 125, shows that Simia Lin- 

 nsus is the proper generic name of the Barbary macaque. If this monkey, 

 Simia inuus Linnteus, be congeneric with the Malayan group of long-tailed 

 macaques, lately called Pithecus, as seems very doubtful, the name Sim,ia 

 will stand for all the Philippine species. Without seeing the original publi- 

 cation of Pithecus, I do not feel justified in selecting a type for the genus, 

 which apparently has not yet been done.
