Muriquis^[1]

Northern muriqui, Brachyteles hypoxanthus
Scientific classification

Class:	Mammalia
Order:	Primates
Suborder:	Haplorhini
Infraorder:	Simiiformes
Family:	Atelidae

Species
Brachyteles arachnoides Brachyteles hypoxanthus

The muriquis, also known as woolly spider monkeys, are the monkeys of the genus Brachyteles.^[1] They are closely related to both the spider monkeys and the woolly monkeys.^[1]

Species

The two species are:^[2]

Genus **Brachyteles** – Spix, 1823 – two species
Common name	Scientific name and subspecies	Range	Size and ecology	IUCN status and estimated population
Southern muriqui	Brachyteles arachnoides (É. Geoffroy, 1806)	Brazil (Paraná, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais)	Size: Habitat: Diet:	CR
Northern muriqui	Brachyteles hypoxanthus (Kuhl, 1820)	Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais and Bahia.)	Size: Habitat: Diet:	CR

They are the two largest species of New World monkeys, and the northern species is one of the most endangered of all the world's monkeys.^[3]

The muriqui lives primarily in coffee estates in southeastern Brazil.^[4]^: 174 Males are the same size and weight as females.^[4]^: 175
