| Author: | Thomas, 1903. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 12: 456. | | Type Species: | Simia personatus É. Geoffroy, 1812. | | Comments: | Revised by Hershkovitz (1990b) and van Roosmalen et al. (2002). Affinities among the species are disputed; the C. torquatus group is very distinct, and provisionally two subgenera may be recognized: Torquatus for the C. torquatus group, and Callicebus for the rest, following Goodman et al. (1998). Apart from the C. torquatus group (here, subgenus Torquatus), van Roosmalen et al. (2002) divide the species into four species groups: the C. donacophilus, C cupreus, C. moloch and C. personatus groups. |
