The Fauna of Peru is a national government website with 20 illustrations of New World primates. It takes time to load (about 50 animals/illustrations on one huge page) but is worth the wait -- you can be browsing while it finishes loading. Links here take you to all individual primate artwork. The Peruvian website has a companion page for flora. Brief text for each species is in Spanish.
