The Golden-bellied Capuchin (Cebus xanthosternos), also known as the Yellow-breasted or Buffy-headed Capuchin, is one of several Speciesof New_World_monkey.
Although there are differences between individuals as well as between the sexes and across age groups, C. xanthosternos is described as having a distinctive yellow to golden red chest, belly and upper arms. Its face is a light brown and its cap for which the Capuchin_monkeywere first named is a dark brown/black or light brown. Formerly thought to be a Subspeciesof Tufted_Capuchin(C. apella), it was elevated to the status of species. Despite this previous classification, C. xanthosternos does not have very evident tufts, as they are oriented towards the rear of the skull and are hardly noticeable. A band of short hair around the upper part of the face with speckled colouring contrasts with the darker surrounding areas. The limbs and tail are also darkly coloured.
Populations of C. xanthosternos are restricted to the Atlanticforest of south-eastern Bahia,Brazil, due possibly to high degrees of interference from man. Historically they probably would have inhabited the entire area east of, and north to, the São_Francisco_River.
Only 300 individuals survive
