The Sierra de Perijá white-fronted capuchin (Cebus leucocephalus) is a gracile capuchin monkey from Colombia and Venezuela. It had formerly been regarded as a subspecies of Humboldt's white-fronted capuchin, and Mittermeier and Rylands reclassified it as a separate species in 2013, based on genetic studies by Boubli. Its range is restricted to the forests in a portion of northern Colombia and northwest Venezuela. Males have a head and body length between 37 and 40.7 cm. The species belongs to the genus Cebus within the family Cebidae, whose living members are the capuchin and squirrel monkeys of Central and South America.
