The brown weeper capuchin (Cebus brunneus), also called the Venezuelan brown capuchin, is a gracile capuchin monkey endemic to Venezuela, although some sources also consider it to occur on Trinidad. It has been treated as a form of Cebus albifrons or of Cebus olivaceus, and in 2012 Boubli and colleagues found its mitochondrial DNA different enough to recognize it as a separate species. Its taxonomy remains contested, because later inspection suggested the specimens they used differed from the actual type specimen. It has thick brown fur with a dark wedge on the forehead and a lighter face, cheeks and chin, and its head and body measure about 42 cm with a tail of about 44 cm.
