The Blue Nile patas monkey (Erythrocebus poliophaeus) or Heuglin's patas monkey is a species of Old World monkey found in Africa along the Blue Nile river valley in Ethiopia, Sudan, and potentially South Sudan. While first described in 1862, it was synonymized with the common patas monkey (E. patas) in 1927. A 2017 study reclassified it as a distinct species.[2][3][4]
