We found the group shown in photos 1 to 3 at about 900 metres near the summit of the Serra Bonita at the edge of
low humid forest. Photos 4 and 5 were taken four years later lower down the hill near the lodge.
It has a light grey face with a white forehead, the ear-tufts are black, the back is black and grey while the legs and lower back
have rufous-brown patches as can be seen particularly well on the second photo. The tail is black with whitish rings.
The second group look different from the first with less white on the face and look more like illustrations of C. penicillata that I have seen. |

Emmons treats this as a sub-species of the C. jacchus complex, Auricchio treats it as a full species and Eisenberg mentions both treatments. | |||
