The brown woolly monkey or 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 2 to 70 individuals, usually splitting the group into smaller subgroups while in activity.
Many published sources give the systematic name as L. lagothricha, because Fooden [3] chose that spelling as the correct spelling, when he revised the genus. Von Humboldt used both spellings in his original description, so the International Zoological Code permits a first reviser to choose the spelling that is to be considered the "correct spelling".
