Acrecebus fraileyi is an extinct monkey from the Late Miocene, known from the Solimões Formation of Acre State in Brazil and also from Bolivia. It is the only species known in its genus, Acrecebus, and the genus is classed among the cebid monkeys, the family that today holds the capuchins and the squirrel monkeys. It is described as closely related to the genus Cebus, the gracile capuchins. The species is known only from fossil remains, so everything said about it rests on that fossil record and no living population exists.
