Alouatta mauroi

Alouatta mauroi is an extinct species of howler monkey in the family Atelidae, the New World monkey family that also holds the spider, woolly and muriqui monkeys. It belongs to the genus Alouatta, the howler monkeys, and carries the authority Tejedor and colleagues, 2008. The Paleobiology Database records it as a species known from the Late Pleistocene into the Holocene, with a single fossil occurrence on file, and lists it as an extinct, arboreal and actively mobile taxon whose diet is given as omnivore. The Global Biodiversity Information Facility backbone accepts the name as a valid species of Alouatta. The Wikipedia page on Atelidae lists it among the extinct howler monkeys with a Late Pleistocene date and marks its place within the genus as uncertain. The sources read say little beyond this, so its body size, range and anatomy are not described here.
