Seventeen polymorphic microsatellite loci were identified for white‐faced capuchin monkeys from an enriched genomic library in addition to one locus found through cross‐species comparisons. In a sample of 187 wild individuals, these loci exhibited an average of five alleles and an observed heterozygosity of 0.62. The combined probability of exclusion of a random individual from parentage was 0.99. These loci were screened in 23 other New World monkeys and an average of seven loci was variable per species, suggesting that these loci could be of use in studies of other Neotropical primates.
