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.
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 ...
In 2011, Jessica Lynch Alfaro et al. proposed that the robust capuchins (formerly the C. apella group) be placed in a separate genus, Sapajus, from the gracile capuchins (formerly the C. capucinus group) which retain the genus Cebus. [8] [9] Other primatologists, such as Paul Garber, have begun using this classification. [10]
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.
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]
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.
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]
