Dear All,
What disturbs me most is the apparent failure to compare it to other
species outside of the apella group. In particular, I would certainly want
to compare it to specimens of Cebus albifrons (which displays a fair amount
of variation in pelage). This could be a new subspecies, but not a full
species. It really is a shame they didn't get a small hair sample while
they had the holotype in hand. Hair grows back and getting a sample would
not have been painful or intrusive.
