The Angolan talapoin (Miopithecus talapoin), also known as the southern talapoin, is a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae. It is found in riparian habitats in Angola and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.[2] Unlike the related Gabon talapoin, the Angolan talapoin has blackish (not flesh-coloured) ears and facial skin down to around the nostrils.[3]
