Fossil cercopithecoid material from Ngeringerowa, Ngorora, and Nakali, dated at between 8.5 and 10.5 m.y., is described. The specimens are the only cercopithecoid remains dated between 15 and 6 m.y. from sub‐Saharan Africa. The mandible of asmall colobine from Ngeringerowa (similar in size to Colobus verus ) is assigned to a new genus and species, Microcolobus tugenensis . Unlike other colobine genera, the symphysis of Microcolobus lacks an inferior transverse torus. A colobine lower M 1 or 2 from Nakali is longer and narrower than molars of M. tugenensis , indicating that it may belong to a distinct taxon. A P 4 from Ngorora cannot be assigned confidently to subfamily, due to its unique metaconid morphology. The relationship between the new genus and other Miocene monkeys is considered
