New records and geographic distribution of grey woolly monkeys, lagothrix cana (É. Geoffroy, 1812) (Primates, Atelidae), in southern Brazilian Amazonia

Abstract

We report a range extension of the Grey Woolly Monkey, Lagothrix cana, from southwestern Amazonia, Mato Grosso, Brazil. Lagothrix cana was seen in a forest fragment near the “arc of deforestation”. This new record shows the need for conservation of forests in the region to protect this endangered species.
