C. c. capucinus, from mainland South America and Panama C. c. curtus , from the Pacific island of Gorgona , sometimes referred to as the Gorgona white-faced capuchin. Like other monkeys in the genus Cebus , the Colombian white-faced capuchin is named after the order of Capuchin friars because the cowls of these friars closely resemble the ...
The range of C. capucinus is primarily in South America, in western Colombia and northwest Ecuador, although its range extends into the easternmost portion of Panama. [1] C. c. curtus has a range restricted to Gorgona Island, while C. c. capucinus covers the remainder of the C. capucinus range. [1] The two species differ slightly in appearance.

Genetic analysis by Jean Boubli in 2012 revealed that the Río Cesar white-fronted capuchin is actually more closely related to the Colombian white-faced capuchin (C. capucinus) than it is to C. albifrons. [3] Some authors regard it to be a subspecies of the varied white-fronted capuchin (C. versicolor cesarae). [4]
Robust capuchin monkeys are capuchin monkeys in the genus Sapajus.Formerly, all capuchin monkeys were placed in the genus Cebus. Sapajus was erected in 2012 by Jessica Lynch Alfaro et al. to differentiate the robust (tufted) capuchin monkeys (formerly the C. apella group) from the gracile capuchin monkeys (formerly the C. capucinus group), which remain in Cebus.
