Note: This primate taxonomy will be updated with a more comprehensive list of primate species, including many new species discovered since 1990.
An updated primate list is available at:
Mammal Species of the World: Primates
The third edition of Mammal species of the world is enhanced by the identification of subspecies, and by the inclusion of authority information for all synonyms. For further information about the book click here.
