Early, anecdotal reports of patas monkey ( Erythrocebus patas ) sexual behavior suggested that these primates were series‐mount copulators. In 1975, limited evidence was presented in favor of single‐mount copulations as the species‐typical pattern for patas. The situation remained confused, however, as indicated by statements in a recent review article. This paper adds to our knowledge of patas sexuality by presenting quantitative data on the copulatory behavior of two additional adult males. Both males usually gave pelvic thrusts to intravaginal ejaculation once they had mounted a female and gained intromission. Mounts without ejaculation were clearly failed attempts at copulation, rather than segments of a stereotyped series‐mount pattern. All of the available quantitative data indicate that the species‐typical mating pattern for patas monkeys is copulation in a single mount
