discussion
Alouatta sara was initially considered a distinct species by Elliot (1910) and later regarded as a subspecies of A. seniculus by Cabrera (1957) and Hill (1962). Minezawa et al. (1985) conducted cytogenetic analyses based on a sample of 33 red howler monkeys from the region of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, and concluded that their karyotype differed considerably from those of Colombian red howlers (A. s. seniculus), and therefore should be considered a different species. Similarly, comparative cytogenetic analyses by Stanyon et al. (1995) demonstrated karyotype differences between A. sara and A. arctoidea congruent with typical differences observed between species belonging to different genera. Groves (2001) considered sara to be a full species. Cortés-Ortiz et al. (2003) and Perelman et al. (2011) included mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data of A. sara individuals in their phylogenetic analyses, but only the former authors also included samples from A. seniculus from Colombia. Phylogenetic analyses based on mitochondrial DNA data show that A. sara and A. seniculus are sister taxa that diverged approximately 2.4 MA (Cortés-Ortiz et al. 2003).
