Native to tropical and subtropical forests of South America, the gray-bellied night monkey faces a significant threat from hunting, harvesting for use in pharmaceutical research and habitat destruction. ==Taxonomy== There have been up to four subspecies of the gray-bellied night monkey.〔 All but the nominate subspecies have been elevated to full species rank. The three species formally considered subspecies are: * Brumback's night monkey, ''Aotus brumbacki'' * Gray-handed night monkey, ''Aotus griseimembra'' * Panamanian night monkey, ''Aotus zonalis'' Additionally, Hershkovitz's night monkey ''Aotus hershkovitzi'' is now considered to be a junior synonym for ''A. lemurinus''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gray-bellied night monkey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
