There are, however, several species of monkeys that are commonly called spider monkeys. These monkeys belong to the Atelinae subfamily, which is found in Central and South America. They are characterized by their long limbs, prehensile tails, and slender bodies.
Here are some examples of spider monkeys:
* Black-handed spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi)
* White-faced spider monkey (Ateles belzebuth)
* Brown spider monkey (Ateles hybridus)
* Red-faced spider monkey (Ateles paniscus)
So, while "spider monkey" isn't a specific species, it's a common name used to refer to several types of monkeys with spider-like features.
