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.

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]
Gracile capuchin monkeys are capuchin monkeys in the genus Cebus.At one time all capuchin monkeys were included within the genus Cebus.In 2011, Jessica Lynch Alfaro et al. proposed splitting the genus between the robust capuchin monkeys, such as the tufted capuchin, and the gracile capuchins. [1]
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 ...
