Paralouatta varonai Rivero & Arredondo

Cuban Monkey (Paralouatta varonai)

The Cuban Monkey was described in 1991 based on subfossil remains that were found on the island of Cuba.

The species died out about 3000 years BP, probably due to the arrival of the first humans on the island which hunted these primates.
