Robust Capuchin Monkey
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''. Taxonomy Based on the species and subspecies proposed by Groves in 2001 and 2005, robust capuchin monkey taxa include: * Black-capped, brown or tufted capuchin, ''Sapajus apella'' ** Guiana brown capuchin, ''Sapajus apella apella'' ** Colombian brown capuchin, ''Sapajus apella fatuellus'' ** Margarita Island capuchin, ''Sapajus apella margaritae'' ** Large-headed capuchin, ''Sapajus apella macrocephalus'' ** ''Sapajus apella peruanus'' ** ''Sapajus apella tocantinus'' * Blond capuchin, ''Sapajus flavius'' * Black-striped capuchin, ''Sapajus libidinosus'' ** ''Sapajus libidinosus libidinosus'' ...
