Humboldt's white-fronted capuchin (Cebus albifrons) is a gracile capuchin monkey found in Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil, and possibly on the island of Trinidad. The name once covered several kinds of white-fronted capuchin that genetic studies by Boubli and Lynch Alfaro now treat as separate species. It prefers primary forest but is also found in various types of secondary forest, and it tends to prefer moister and less disturbed forest than other capuchins. Its head and body length is about 37.5 cm, and males weigh about 2.4 kg and females about 2.2 kg. The diet is varied and includes fruit, insects, small vertebrates, flowers, nectar and honey. The species is classified as least concern by the IUCN, although the Trinidad population is classified as critically endangered.
