discussion
There has been confusion about the name that should be used for the howler monkeys that inhabit the Guiana Shield, as well as whether one or two taxa should be recognized. The confusion started with É. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire’s (1812) description of Stentor stramineus, 1 which was based on a specimen of a female A. caraya from Central Brazil (Elliot 1913; Rylands and Brandon-Jones 1998; Gregorin 2006). Later, Elliot (1910) described A. macconnelli from one specimen from French Guiana, and synonymized stramineus with A. seniculus (Elliot 1913), which he deemed as clearly different from A. macconnelli. Tate (1939) considered both macconnelli and stramineus as subspecies of A. seniculus, and da Cruz Lima (1945) considered A. macconnelli (Elliot 1910) a synonym of A. seniculus straminea (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 1812). Hill (1962) still included both straminea and macconnelli as subspecies of A. seniculus, but wrote “ There is every indication that both macconnelli and amazonica fall within the range of variation of stramineus and they should accordingly be treated as synonyms thereof, an action already taken by Cabrera (1957). ” Bonvicino et al. (1995), based on morphological analyses of
