Distribution and habitat: Ecology: Conservation:
 * Also live in semi-deciduous dry forests in the western part of their range (IUCN)
 * Current range has been restricted in Bahia, eastern Minas Gerais, south of Rio Jequitinhonha and north of Rio Doce to deforestation. Some habitats are now protected areas. (IUCN; Hill)
 * Also may eat frogs or even small mammals, and are primarily foragers known for manipulating their food objects to get what they desire. (IUCN)
 * While no crested capuchins have been recorded using tools, it is very possible that they do. Other species of robust capuchins such as Sapajus nigritus have been documented using stones to open food items such as fruits with hard shells or oysters.  Given the similarities between the two species and their ranges, crested capuchins may also use tools in this way. (IUCN; Complete capuchin)
 * No observations have been done specifically on the crested capuchin, but they likely [text from article]. Males ranked lower than the dominant male may also be a part of capuchin groups, but they often remain on the peripheral of the group. (IUCN; complete capuchin)
 * Crested capuchins were first classified as vulnerable in 1995 by the IUCN Red List and became classified as endangered in 2008. The major threats to their species are [text from article]. (IUCN)

Taxonomy and phylogeny: When the crested capuchin was discovered, it was formally classified as Cebus apella robustus and considered a subspecies of the tufted capuchin. In 2001, Groves proposed that the crested capuchin was a subspecies of the black capuchin and should be moved to Cebus nigritus robustus. (Amaral...). In 2012, it was proposed that the crested capuchin is a separate species from the black capuchin (Lynch) as well as tufted capuchins being in the genus Sapajus instead of Cebus, and therefore the crested capuchin should be classified as Sapajus robustus. However, Cebus nigritus robustus may still be used to refer to the crested capuchin (Amaral).

Characteristics: The crested capuchin, unlike other species of capuchins, has a conical crest on the crown which is bright red with a black spot. This cone may also continue around the sides of the head to create a black beard. The rest of the fur may be brownish red or yellowish brown. The forearms, lower legs, and tail of the crested capuchin are all black, although these areas may be a mix of black and light yellow fur in females. Females also may have two lateral tufts on their crown that the males do not have. (Hill; Forbes) Crested capuchins have a head-body length of 33 cm to 57 cm (13 to 22 in) and a tail length of 40 to 47 cm (16 to 19 in). The males are generally larger than the females of the species. (Hill; Forbes)
