Taxonomy notes
moved from Cebus to Sapajus, although this arrangement is relatively tentative, as a number of sources still consider Sapajus as a subgenus of Cebus; oldest name available for the species recently described as queirozi; the year is often sited as 1774, however, the actual date for the authority of this species is 1799 according to Zijlstra, 2020
