Wikipedia Abstract

The brown woolly monkey, common woolly monkey, or Humboldt's woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagotricha) is a woolly monkey from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil. It lives in groups of two to 70 individuals, usually splitting the group into smaller subgroups when active. Many published sources use the binomial L. lagothricha, since Fooden adopted this spelling when he revised the genus. Von Humboldt used both spellings in his original description. The International Zoological Code permits a first reviser to choose an orthodox spelling.
