The Río Cesar white-fronted capuchin[1] (Cebus cesarae) is a gracile capuchin monkey native to the Cesar River Valley in northern Colombia.
- It was previously thought to be a subspecies of the white-fronted capuchin (Cebus albifrons).
- Genetic analysis by Jean Boubli in 2012 shows that this Colombian capuchin is more closely related to another Colombian white-faced capuchin (Cebus capucinus) than to Cebus albifrons.
- Some authors consider it a subspecies of the Varied White-fronted Capuchin (Cebus versicolor cesarae).
- The Río Cesar white-fronted capuchin lives in dry semi-deciduous forests, gallery forests, and mangroves.
- Its coat is light in color. Males have a head and body length between 30.8 and 40.7 cm (12.1 and 16.0 in) with a tail length between 41.9 and 49.5 cm (16.5 and 19 in).
- Females have a head and body length of between 35.3 and 38.5 cm (13.9 and 15.2 in) with a tail length of between 46.1 and 50 cm (18.1 and 19.7 in.).
