Santa Marta white-fronted capuchin
Cebus malitiosus
Santa Marta white-fronted capuchin is a primate in the family Cebidae (order Primates) — Cebus malitiosus, recorded as Endangered.
Appearance
The Santa Marta white-fronted capuchin is a gracile capuchin monkey from Colombia. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Cebus albifrons or a synonym of the Colombian white-faced capuchin (C. Capucinus), but Mittermeier and Rylands elevated it to a species in 2013, following previous work by Rylands, Hershkovitz, Cooper and Hernandez-Camacho. The Santa Marta white-fronted capuchin range is restricted to forests near the northwest base of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia.
Males have a head and body about 45.7 cm (18.0 in) long and a tail about 43.3 cm (17.0 in) long.
