Author: | Lawrence, 1933. | Citation: | Bull. Mus. Comp. Zool., 75: 333. | Common Name: | Guatemalan Black Howler | Type Locality: | Guatemala, Petén, Uaxactun. | Distribution: | Yucatan and Chiapas (Mexico) to Belize and Guatemala. | Status: | CITES – Appendix I; U.S. ESA – Threatened; IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | Comments: | A. palliata species group.
