The Coiba Island howler (Alouatta coibensis) is a species of howler monkey, a type of New World monkey, endemic to Panama. Although the Coiba Island howler is generally recognized as a separate species, mitochondrial DNA testing is inconclusive as to whether it is actually a subspecies of the mantled howler.[3] The reason for treating it as a separate species is the dermal ridges of its hands and feet differ from those of the mantled howler.[4]
A. c. coibensis is smaller than other Central American howler monkeys and has duller pelage than the Azuero howler, Alouatta coibensis trabeata.
Subspecies
The two subspecies of this howler are:[1]
- Alouatta coibensis coibensis Thomas, 1902, found on Coiba Island and Jicaron, off the Pacific coast of Panama
- Azuero howler, A. c. trabeata Lawrence, 1933, endemic to the Azuero Peninsula in Panama.
