Cebus apella (Linnaeus) View in CoL

One or two species of Cebus were common at Paracou in the early 1980s (P. Petronelli, personal commun., 1993), but capuchins are now rarely seen or heard in the area. The older forestry workers are familiar with both a large and a small species, presumably C. apella and C. olivaceus (see appendix 1), but only C. apella has been definitely identified by sight at Paracou (P.­M. Forget, personal commun., 1994). We heard Cebus on several occasions in 1994 when our inventory activities extended ca. 3 km to the NNW of camp (the limit of our sampling radius), but we caught no more than a brief glimpse of the animals as they fled in the distance and were not able to determine the species.
