In this work the species included in Ateleus are divided into 

 two groups, the true and the woolly, these last now placed in 

 the genus Brachyteleus. The true are separated into two 

 divisions, A. those with a crest and B. those without. The first 

 of these is subdivio'-d into five sections; a. with nearly the 

 entire face naked and the pelage black and shining. Three 

 species are apportioned to this section ; A. paniscus ; A. ater ; 

 and A. pentadactylus = A. paniscus; b. cheeks and chin 

 more or less hairy ; pelage of various colors. Three species 

 are included here ; A. fusciceps ; A. marginatus ; and A. chuva
