Río Cesar white-fronted capuchin
Species of New World monkey From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Río Cesar white-fronted capuchin (Cebus cesarae) is a species of gracile capuchin monkey from the Río Cesar Valley in northern Colombia. It had previously been considered a subspecies of the white-fronted capuchin (C. albifrons).[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]
