- Abstract
Colombia is among the countries with the greatest richness of primates in the world. However, the number and identity of species has been a debated topic over the years. The first descriptions of Colombian primates date back to expeditions after the Spanish conquest. Later, the first taxonomic reviews of genera and species were published in the first half of the 20th century, based on literature and museum specimens. To unify the taxonomic information of non-human primates of the country, we conducted a literature review focused on those contributions that have led to changes in the taxonomic and nomenclatural arrangements of the last 20 years. Also, we collected information on taxa with type locality in Colombia from revisions of the original descriptions. We recognize the presence of 36 species, and 17 subspecies, where the greatest changes have occurred in the genera Cebus and Aotus. We report 8 endemic species and 25 taxa with type localities in the country. Furthermore, we consider that, according to recent reviews, the populations of the genus Cacajao in the country correspond to C. ouakary (Spix 1823) and, in the absence of molecular evidence, geographic barriers, and phenotypic differentiation, we indicate Pithecia milleri as a subspecies of P. hirsuta (Spix, 1823), and Cheracebus lucifer and C. medemi as subspecies of C. torquatus (Hoffmannsegg, 1807). Finally, we propose the use of subgenera to represent the evolutionary relationships in Saguinus (Leontocebus) and Callicebus (Plecturocebus, Cheracebus).
