  question 
  may 
  be 
  a 
  Saimiri. 
  Humboldt 
  (1812, 
  p. 
  310) 
  identijfied 
  it 
  as 
  

   a 
  Pithecia. 
  In 
  any 
  case, 
  Cebus 
  Brissonii 
  Lesson 
  is 
  preoccupied 
  by 
  

   Cebus 
  Brissonii 
  Fischer, 
  1829, 
  an 
  Ateles. 
  Elliot 
  (1913, 
  p. 
  93) 
  listed 
  

   brissonii 
  as 
  a 
  synonym 
  of 
  Cebus 
  flavus 
  GeofFroy, 
  and 
  Pusch 
  (1941, 
  p. 
  

   210) 
  included 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  synonymy 
  of 
  "C. 
  albifrons 
  flavus 
  Goldfuss." 
  

  

  Cebus 
  versicolor 
  Pucheran 
  (1845, 
  p. 
  335). 
  Described 
  as 
  very 
  

   nearly 
  related 
  to 
  chrysopus. 
  The 
  type 
  locality 
  was 
  given 
  as 
  " 
  Santa-Fe 
  

   de 
  Bogota," 
  Colombia. 
  The 
  name 
  is 
  applicable 
  to 
  the 
  brown 
  pale- 
  

   fronted 
  monkeys 
  of 
  the 
  middle 
  Rio 
  Magdalena 
  Valley. 
  

  

  Cebus 
  nigrivittatus 
  Wagner 
  (1848, 
  p. 
  430). 
  Based 
  on 
  specimens 
  

   collected 
  by 
  Natterer 
  and 
  described 
  by 
  him 
  in 
  his 
  unpublished 
  notes. 
  

   Pucheran 
  (1857, 
  p. 
  346) 
  examined 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  nigrivittatus 
  and 
  com- 
  

   pared 
  it 
  with 
  versicolor. 
  Schlegel 
  (1876, 
  p. 
  193), 
  in 
  discussing 
  the 
  

   identity 
  and 
  characters 
  of 
  "Cebus 
  capucinus 
  Geoffroy," 
  indicated 
  that 
  

   C. 
  nigrivittatus, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  castaneus 
  and 
  olivaceus, 
  is 
  representative. 
  

   The 
  name 
  nigrivittatus, 
  adopted 
  for 
  the 
  misnomer 
  capucinus 
  Linnaeus, 
  

   1766 
  (not 
  1758), 
  may 
  require 
  revision 
  if 
  it 
  can 
  be 
  shown 
  that 
  the 
  

   conspecific 
  olivaceus 
  antedates 
  it. 
  Though 
  frequently 
  cited 
  for 
  the 
  

   year 
  1847, 
  the 
  name 
  nigrivittatus 
  did 
  not 
  appear 
  until 
  1848, 
  the 
  same 
  

   year 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  olivaceus 
  was 
  published 
  in 
  the 
  second 
  

   volume 
  of 
  Schomburgk's 
  "Reisen." 
  

  

  Both 
  Schlegel 
  (op. 
  cit.) 
  and 
  Cabrera 
  (1917a, 
  p. 
  227; 
  1924, 
  p. 
  131) 
  

   considered 
  the 
  sajou 
  mdle 
  and 
  the 
  sajou 
  brunfemelle 
  of 
  Cuvier 
  identical 
  

   with 
  capucinus 
  of 
  authors, 
  or 
  nigrivittatus. 
  While 
  the 
  sajou 
  brun 
  is 
  

   clearly 
  the 
  monkey 
  known 
  as 
  capucinus 
  of 
  authors, 
  the 
  sajou 
  mdle 
  is 
  

   difficult 
  to 
  identify 
  with 
  certainty. 
  Its 
  head, 
  especially 
  the 
  form 
  of 
  

   the 
  coronal 
  cap, 
  is 
  like 
  that 
  of 
  nigrivittatus; 
  the 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  remainder 
  

   of 
  the 
  body, 
  however, 
  resembles 
  that 
  of 
  an 
  albifrons. 
  This 
  composite 
  

   appearance 
  is 
  actually 
  a 
  common 
  occurrence 
  among 
  menagerie 
  

   monkeys. 
  Desmarest 
  based 
  the 
  name 
  Cebus 
  griseus 
  {q. 
  v.) 
  partially 
  

   on 
  the 
  sajou 
  mdle 
  but 
  primarily 
  on 
  the 
  sajou 
  gris 
  of 
  BufFon. 
  Hence, 
  

   the 
  name 
  griseus 
  is 
  not 
  available 
  for 
  capucinus 
  of 
  authors. 
  Reichen- 
  

   bach 
  employed 
  the 
  name 
  paraguayanus 
  for 
  the 
  sajou 
  mdle. 
  However, 
  

   Reichenbach's 
  name 
  is 
  not 
  only 
  preoccupied 
  by 
  paraguayanus 
  Fischer 
  

   but 
  is 
  antedated 
  by 
  nigrivittatus 
  Wagner 
  as 
  well. 
  Pelzeln 
  (1884, 
  p. 
  

   11) 
  identified 
  capucinus 
  of 
  authors 
  with 
  Cebus 
  nigrivittatus 
  and 
  added 
  

   that 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  was 
  pm'chased 
  from 
  the 
  Porocoto 
  Indians 
  in 
  

   San 
  Joaquim, 
  upper 
  Rio 
  Branco. 
  

  

  Cebus 
  olivaceus 
  Schomburgk 
  (1848, 
  pp. 
  246, 
  247). 
  As 
  originally 
  

   described, 
  and 
  as 
  appears 
  in 
  a 
  topotype 
  from 
  Mount 
  Roraima, 
  olivaceus 
  

   is 
  a 
  local 
  form 
  of 
  C. 
  nigrivittatus. 
  Cabrera 
  (1917a, 
  p. 
  227) 
  believed 
  it 
  

   to 
  be 
  closely 
  related 
  but 
  specifically 
  distinct 
  from 
  nigrivittatus. 
  He 
  

   had 
  no 
  specimens 
  and 
  arrived 
  at 
  this 
  conclusion 
  indirectly 
  by 
  assum- 
  

   ing 
  that 
  olivaceus 
  was 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  the 
  sai 
  variete 
  B 
  of 
  Audebert.
