The
Coiba Island howler (
Alouatta coibensis) is a species of
howler monkey, a type of
New World monkey, endemic to
Panama. Although the Coiba Island howler is generally recognized as a separate species,
mitochondrial DNA testing is inconclusive as to whether it is actually a subspecies of the
mantled howler.
[3] The reason for treating it as a separate species is the dermal ridges of its hands and feet differ from those of the mantled howler.
