AB - We carried out a phylogenetic and population study in Alouatta caraya and Alouatta belzebul based on cytochrome b DNA sequence data. Maximum Parsimony and Median-Joining analyses grouped A. caraya from different localities showing a population structure in accordance with geographic distribution. The relation between A. caraya haplotypes could be explained with respect to the species range in the Cerrado, one of the most ancient morphoclimatic domains of South America, and the Chaco. Conversely, A. belzebul from the Amazonas and Atlantic forests grouped in a paraphyletic arrangement without an evident geographic pattern. Recent geologic events resulting in the separation of A. belzebul might explain why these geographically distant groups shared similar haplotypes and why ancestral polymorphisms might have been maintained in this species. Time of divergence estimates indicated that the splitting of the Alouatta lineage leading to A. caraya occurred some 4.58 MYA while the lineage leading to A. belzebul emerged 4.14 MYA.
