Taxonomy notes

moved from Callicebus to the recently described Cheracebus, although this arrangement is considered tentative, as some recent publications prefer to recognize Cheracebus and Plecturocebus as subgenera of Callicebus; purinus is now a synonym of C. torquatus since the type locality and specimen of C. torquatus was proven to be from populations previously attributed to C. purinus; thus, the species previously known as C. purinus is now known as C. torquatus
