In 2012 a study by Boubli, et al demonstrated that C. imitator and C. capucinus split up to 2 million years ago. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Although the Panamanian white-faced capuchin is the most well-studied capuchin monkey species, as of 2014, there had been no field studies of the Colombian white-faced capuchin.
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.
White-fronted capuchin can refer to any of a number of species of gracile capuchin monkey which used to be considered as the single species Cebus albifrons.White-fronted capuchins are found in seven different countries in South America: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago.
Distribution of Cebus imitator and Cebus capucinus. [2] Cebus imitator covers the Central American portion of the range except the easternmost portion of Panama. The Panamanian white-faced capuchin ( Cebus imitator ), also known as the Panamanian white-headed capuchin or Central American white-faced capuchin , is a medium-sized New World monkey ...
Lycodon capucinus, also known as the common wolf snake [1], is a species of colubrid snake commonly found in the Indo-Australian Archipelago.The species is named after the enlarged front teeth which give them a muzzled appearance similar to canines and makes the snout somewhat more squarish than other snakes.
Previously, New World monkeys were divided between Callitrichidae and this family. For a few recent years, marmosets, tamarins, and lion tamarins were placed as a subfamily (Callitrichinae) in Cebidae, while moving other genera from Cebidae into the families Aotidae, Pitheciidae and Atelidae. [2]
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]
The head and body length of Humboldt's white-fronted capuchins is about 37.5 cm (14.8 in). [9] [10] Tail length for males is about 42.5 cm (16.7 in) and it is between 41 and 46 cm (16 and 18 in) for females. [9]
