A chromogenetic field analysis was performed with 25 of 29 of the known species of the genus Callicebus. Some species presented polymorphism, such as C. moloch, C. hoffmansii and C. cupreus. C. bernhardi presents the same distribution of color in chromogenetic fields as C. moloch, differing only in pigment amount, mainly in ventral surfaces, suggesting C. bernhardi is a junior synonym of C. moloch. C. hoffmansii presents two distinct phenotypes, but without a geographic barrier between them. Callicebus cupreus, C. dubius and C. caligatus are distinct species.
