﻿ATELEUS 
  41 
  

  

  from 
  "Amerique 
  Meridionale" 
  and 
  was 
  given 
  by 
  M. 
  Bernard, 
  Departe- 
  

   ment 
  de 
  la 
  Marine. 
  Both 
  these 
  examples 
  have 
  a 
  general 
  dark 
  brown 
  

   pelage, 
  with 
  more 
  of 
  the 
  golden 
  hue 
  on 
  the 
  lower 
  back 
  on 
  the 
  earlier 
  

   example, 
  although 
  the 
  one 
  given 
  in 
  1840, 
  has 
  the 
  tips 
  of 
  the 
  hairs 
  

   golden 
  as 
  if 
  a 
  change 
  to 
  that 
  color 
  had 
  commenced. 
  

  

  They 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  pelage 
  which 
  might 
  well 
  be 
  designated 
  as 
  fulig- 
  

   inosus, 
  but 
  which 
  Geoffroy 
  called 
  belzebuth, 
  and 
  both 
  are 
  so 
  

   labelled 
  ; 
  while 
  one 
  obtained 
  in 
  1894, 
  from 
  Acapulco, 
  Mexico, 
  which 
  is 
  

   doubtless 
  an 
  immature 
  A. 
  pan 
  Schlegel, 
  is 
  called 
  A. 
  fuliginosus 
  Kuhl, 
  

   as 
  stated 
  on 
  the 
  label. 
  A. 
  vellerosus 
  Gray, 
  the 
  fuliginosus 
  style, 
  would 
  

   seem 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  earlier 
  pelage 
  before 
  the 
  brighter 
  coloring 
  of 
  the 
  mature 
  

   animal 
  had 
  appeared. 
  As 
  Geoffroy's 
  name 
  of 
  belzebuth 
  was 
  given 
  

   to 
  the 
  species 
  fourteen 
  years 
  before 
  Kuhl 
  named 
  it, 
  fuliginosus 
  must 
  

   become 
  a 
  synonym. 
  

  

  Judging 
  from 
  the 
  descriptions, 
  both 
  Geoffroy's 
  and 
  Kuril's 
  speci- 
  

   mens 
  were 
  immature, 
  and 
  had 
  little 
  of 
  the 
  golden 
  color 
  on 
  the 
  back 
  

   so 
  characteristic 
  of 
  the 
  adult. 
  Considerable 
  confusion 
  has 
  arisen 
  by 
  

   writers 
  attempting 
  to 
  connect 
  this 
  South 
  American 
  species 
  with 
  the 
  

   Spider 
  Monkey 
  from 
  Mexico. 
  Gray's 
  type 
  was 
  said 
  to 
  have 
  come 
  

   from 
  Brazil, 
  but 
  there 
  were 
  no 
  proofs 
  to 
  confirm 
  this. 
  The 
  type 
  of 
  

   belzebuth, 
  as 
  stated 
  by 
  Geoffroy, 
  came 
  from 
  the 
  banks 
  of 
  the 
  Orinoco 
  

   above 
  the 
  great 
  rapids 
  of 
  that 
  river. 
  At 
  Atures 
  and 
  Maypures 
  

   Humboldt 
  saw 
  it, 
  (1. 
  c). 
  The 
  Mexican 
  species 
  of 
  Ateleus 
  is 
  distinct, 
  

   and 
  Schlegel 
  has 
  given 
  to 
  it 
  the 
  name, 
  A. 
  pan.
