Subspecies
Several subspecies are recognised:
- Cercopithecus mitis mitis – Pluto monkey, found in Angola
- Cercopithecus mitis heymansi
- Cercopithecus mitis stuhlmanni – Stuhlmann's blue monkey
- Cercopithecus mitis elgonis – Elgon blue monkey
- Cercopithecus mitis botourlinii
- Cercopithecus mitis opitsthosticus
At times some of these have been regarded as full species, additional subspecies have been considered valid, while others are not recognized by all authorities.
