Macaque \Ma`caque"\, n. [F. See {Macacus}.] (Zool.)
Any one of several species of short-tailed monkeys of the
genus {Macaca} (formerly {Macacus}), found in rocky regions
of Asia and Africa; as, {Macaca maurus}, the moor macaque of
the East Indies.

Note: {Macaca mulatta} is the {Rhesus monkey}, much used in
biomedical research, and namesake of the Rh factor used
in blood typing (due to discovery of that factor in the
Rhesus monkey).
