The Maranhão red-handed howler (Alouatta ululata) is an endangered species of howler monkey that is endemic to forests (for example Babaçu forests) in the northeast Brazilian states of Ceará, Maranhão and Piauí.[1] It was previously thought to be a subspecies of the Red-handed Howler, but unlike that species the Maranhão Red-handed Howler is strongly sexually dichromatic.[2]
