Cebus capucinus imitator is a subspecies of the white-headed capuchin.[1] Some authorities dispute whether C. c. imitator is actually a separate subspecies.[2] Other authorities regard it as a distinct species, Cebus imitator.[3] Cebus capucinus imitator ranges from Nicaragua through Costa Rica and part of Panama, west of the Panama Canal.[1] Cebus capucinus imitator differs from C. c. capucinus in that females have elongated frontal tufts.[1] It also differs from C. c. capucinus in the ratio of the width of the upper premolars to the width of the first molar.[4] It is larger than the other possible subspecies of white-headed capuchin, C. c. limitaneus and has a larger skull.[1] However, Boubli, et al, who performed a mitochondrial DNA study of the gracile capuchins which concluded that C. imitator was a separate species, also concluded that C. c. limitaneus is not a distinct taxon from C. c. imitator.[3] In that case, C. imitator would encompass the range of C. c. limitaneus in northern Nicaragua and Honduras.[3]
