The population in the Santa Cruz Department in Bolivia was split off as a separate species, the Bolivian red howler, in 1985, and more recently, splitting off the population in northeastern South America and Trinidad as the Guyanan red howler has been recommended. All howler monkeys belong to the family Atelidae and the infraorder Platyrrhini (New World monkeys).

Famous quotes containing the word red:
“How red the rose that is the soldier’s wound,
The wounds of many soldiers, the wounds of all
The soldiers that have fallen, red in blood,
The soldier of time grown deathless in great size.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
