Taxonomy notes
name changed from P. discolor to P. leucometopus, as the name discolor is now considered a synonym of P. cupreus; moved from Callicebus to the recently described Plecturocebus, although this arrangement is considered tentative, as some recent publications prefer to recognize Cheracebus and Plecturocebus as subgenera of Callicebus
