SPECIES Aotus lemurinus

Author:I. Geoffroy, 1843.
Citation:C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, 16: 1151.
Common Name:Gray-bellied Night Monkey
Type Locality:Colombia, Santa Fe de Bogotá (see Defler et al., 2001).
Distribution:Panama, Equador and Colombia west of Cordillera Oriental.
Status:CITES – Appendix II; IUCN – Endangered as A. l. griseimembra, Data Deficient as A. l. zonalis, otherwise Vulnerable as A. l. brumbacki and A. l. lemurinus.
Comments:Gray-necked species group. Ford (1994) suggested that brumbacki is a subspecies of A. lemurinus; followed by Groves (2001c). Defler et al. (2001) argued that the described subspecies of A. lemurinus are probably full species, but more work (especially on karyotypes) needs to be done.
