 Comments
       
  Comment: CITES: Appendix II adopted at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (Doha, 2010)  
    Status: CITES - Appendix II as Cephalophus monticola; IUCN - Lower Risk (lc) as Cepalophus monticola  
    Comments: May include maxwellii; see Haltenorth and Diller (1977:43). Can be partitioned between grey-legged melanorheus division (includes also aequatorialis, congicus, lugens, musculoides, and sundevalli) and red-legged nominate monticola division (includes also anchietae, bicolor, defriesi, hecki, and simpsoni). Cotterill (2003b) recognized pembae and melanorheus as evolutionary species
