The untufted, or gracile, capuchin monkeys are currently classified in four species, Cebus albifrons, C. capucinus, C. olivaceus, and C. kaapori, with all but C. kaapori having numerous described subspecies. The taxonomy is controversial and their geographic distributions are poorly known. Cebus albifrons is unusual in its disjunct distribution, with a western and central Amazonian range, a separate range in the northern Andes in Colombia, and isolated populations in Trinidad and west of the…

Molecular Relationships and Classification of Several Tufted Capuchin Lineages (Cebus apella, Cebus xanthosternos and Cebus nigritus, Cebidae), by Means of Mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase II Gene Sequences
TLDR
This project obtained mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase II gene sequences from 49 tufted capuchins that had exact geographic origins from diverse lineages in Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, French Guyana, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay and that belonged to clearly recognized morphological taxa.
The mystery of the origins of Cebus albifrons malitiosus and Cebus albifrons hypoleucus: mitogenomics and microsatellite analyses revealed an amazing evolutionary history of the Northern Colombian white-fronted capuchins
TLDR
A large sample of gracile capuchins, including all of the recognized species, were sequenced to offset the paucity of phylogenic and phylogeographic data regarding this group and to try to understand their phylogeny and evolution.
Phylogenetic relationships among Capuchin (Cebidae, Platyrrhini) lineages: An old event of sympatry explains the current distribution of Cebus and Sapajus
TLDR
The results support the SEV hypothesis, showing that the current syntopic distribution of Cebus and Sapajus can be explained by a sympatric speciation event in the Amazon.
How Many Species, Taxa, or Lineages of Cebus albifrons (Platyrrhini, Primates) Inhabit Ecuador? Insights from Mitogenomics
TLDR
It is concluded that a large portion of the gracile capuchin taxa form a unique species with a complex of populations and subspecies, and has conserved its reproductive integrity by repeated episodes of reticulation and high levels of gene flow.
Recently Integrated Alu Elements in Capuchin Monkeys: A Resource for Cebus/Sapajus Genomics
TLDR
The Alu datasets reported in this study provide a valuable resource that will assist in the classification of archival samples lacking phenotypic data and for the study of capuchin phylogenetic relationships.

Assessment of genetic variability in captive capuchin monkeys (Primates: Cebidae)
TLDR
The aim of this work was to evaluate the genetic and phenotypic variability of captive specimens putatively belonging to S. cay and S. nigritus at their southernmost distribution limit, and identified two genetic divergent SCY groups: samples from NOA and from NEA with high mitochondrial diversity.
Alu elements and the phylogeny of capuchin (Cebus and Sapajus) monkeys
TLDR
The phylogenetic tree confirmed the division of the capuchins into two genera, Cebus and Sapjus, and suggested the southern species Sapajus nigritus robustus and S. cay as the earliest and second earliest offshoots in this genus, respectively.
Reanalysis of the biogeographical hypothesis of range expansion between robust and gracile capuchin monkeys
TLDR
It is suggested that the divergence of capuchin monkey genera may have occurred in the Atlantic Forest, however, a more conclusive scenario and better resolution of the species tree requires correct identification of species, data from several unlinked nuclear loci from a higher number of individuals per species, and careful analysis of ancient DNA data from museum specimens.

TLDR
The authors' molecular population genetics data do not agree with the existence of two well‐defined subspecies in Central America (limitaneus and imitator) and this Central America mt haplogroup showed significantly less genetic diversity than the Colombianmt haplogroups.

TLDR
The legacy of Hershkovitz is the cause of there currently being more species and subspecies of primates in the New World than in Africa or Asia, providing as he did the capacity to compare findings with what is known, both in terms of the physiognomy of the primates under scrutiny and their supposed distributions.

TLDR
Taxonomy has a well-defined role, which is much more than simply stamp-collecting and pigeon-holing; as such species must be defined as objectively as possible.
