The chest, belly and upper arms are orange tinged, however, to a lesser extent then Aotus nigriceps.

The only data that exists about this species are museum specimens, sighting records and very basic ecological information.

[5] Hardly any data exists on the dietary requirements of A. miconax, but it is known that it is generally frugivorous but also consumes leaf buds and insects.

The main threat facing the Peruvian night monkey is the continued growth of human populations and associated habitat destruction.

A network of community run reserves is intended to help conserving the species as well as the sympatric, Critically Endangered yellow-tailed woolly monkey.
