Undated images released by the Public Library of Science and available Thursday Sept 13 2012 show a captive adult male Cercopithecus hamlyni, left, and an adult male Cercopithecus lomamiensis, right. Researchers have identified a new species of African monkey, locally known as the Lesula, right, described in the Sep. 12 issue of the open access journal PLOS ONE. This is only the second new species of African monkey discovered in the last 28 years.
