SPECIES Saimiri ustus
Author: | I. Geoffroy, 1843. | Citation: | C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, 16(21): 1157. | Common Name: | Bare-eared Squirrel Monkey | Type Locality: | Brazil, Amazonas, Rio Madeira, Humaitu. | Distribution: | S Brazil: south of Rio Amazon, probably from Rio Xingu to Lage Tefé, approx. 61°30’W. | Status: | CITES – Appendix II; IUCN – Least Concern. | Comments: | S. sciureus species group. Thorington (1985) and Costello et al. (1993) argued that ustus is a synonym of S. sciureus (so that the correct name should be madeirae), but this is not the case (Groves, 2001c:159). Costello et al. (1993) regarded this species as not specifically distinct from S. sciureus. |
