In the 1959 Annual Report for the ZSL, a new species is listed as having arrived in the collection: the Pale Capuchin, Cebus apella pallidus. I canot find any conclusive confirmation of what this species is; nothing is listed by that name in the various sources to which I have referred. Does anyone have any ideas what they would have been? Many thanks, in advance.
Hey! Lurker visiting daily for about six/seven years, finally making an account just to answer this... It's the Large-Headed Capuchin (Sapajus macrocephalus). Or rather, a subspecies thereof, found to the South of the Rio Madre de Dios and along the right bank of the Rio Inamabari. Source here.
I'm very grateful that you did make an account to answer this question. Capuchin taxonomy is quite headache-giving. Your help is gratefully received!
Always a pleasure to greet another afficionado of Camellia sinensis I hope that you consider sticking around; by and large, we have a very nice little community here and another viewpoint is always welcome!
