Neblina uakari

Neblina uakari (Cacajao hosomi) is a uakari in the genus Cacajao, family Pitheciidae, the New World monkeys that also include the other titis, the sakis and the uakaris. The Mammal Diversity Database credits the species name to Boubli, M. N. F. da Silva, Amado, Hrbek, Pontual, & Farias, 2008 and lists its country distribution as Brazil and Venezuela. Also called the black-headed uakari, it is a newly described monkey from the far northwest Brazilian Amazon and adjacent southern Venezuela, found by Jean-Phillipe Boubli and described in 2008. The English name refers to Pico da Neblina, near the centre of its range, and a significant part of its distribution lies in Pico da Neblina National Park in Brazil and the adjacent Serranía de la Neblina National Park in Venezuela. Groups travel with constant calling that lets them spread 200 to 300 metres, and females produce one offspring, typically in March and April during the fruiting season. The Mammal Diversity Database gives its IUCN Red List status as Vulnerable.
