The varied white-fronted capuchin (Cebus versicolor) is a species of gracile capuchin monkey from Colombia. It had been classified as a subspecies of the white-fronted capuchin (C. albifrons)[2] Genetic analysis by Jean Boubli in 2012 revealed it to be a separate species.[3][4] Some authors regard the Río Cesar white-fronted capuchin to be a subspecies of the varied white-fronted capuchin.[4]
The varied white-fronted capuchin lives in lowland moist forest and in palm swamps in the Río Magdalena Valley of northern Colombia.[2] It has reddish fur on its back, forearms and the front of its legs, contrasting with lighter fur overall.[4] It has a dark brown crown on its head contrasting with light fur on the temples, forehead, chin, throat and on the sides of its face and neck.[4] It has a head and body length between 45 and 50.5 cm (17.7 and 19.9 in) with a tail length of between 42 and 45.5 mm (1.65 and 1.79 in).[2]
