From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Golden-mantled Howler Monkey (Alouatta palliata palliata) is a subspecies of the Mantled Howler Monkey, A. palliata. It ranges throughout much of Central America, in Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and possibly Panama.[1] The range limits between the Golden-mantled Howler Monkey and the Ecuadorian Mantled Howler Monkey are not entirely clear. The Ecuadorian Mantled Howler replaces the Golden-mantled Howler in either extreme eastern Costa Rica or western Panama.[2] The Golden-mantled Howler differs from the Ecuadorian Mantled Howler primarily by being darker, with a mantle that is more rufous than yellowish.[3] The Golden-mantled Howler Monkey differs from the Mexican Howler Monkey primarily in aspects of skull morphology.[4]
