Abstract

Two species of primates,Alouatta palliata coibensis andCebus capucinus imitator, occur on the Pacific island of Coiba, located off the coast of Panama. EighteenAlouatta groups and 13Cebus groups were seen during a 12-day survey (26 October-6 November, 1974). FiveAlouatta groups ranged in size from 2–9 animals and averaged 5.2 animals/group; oneCebus group contained 10 individuals.Cebus frequently forage on the ground on Cobia, and bothAlouatta andCebus occasionally enter mangrove swamp.
