Plecturocebus Moloch Group
''Plecturocebus'' is one of three genera of titi monkeys. Historically, these monkeys were monogeneric, being placed in a single genus: ''Callicebus'' Thomas, 1903. Owing to the great diversity found across titi monkey species, a new genus-level taxonomy was proposed in 2016 that recognises three genera within the subfamily Callicebinae; ''Plecturocebus'' Byrne et al., 2016 for the Amazonian and Chaco titis of the ''moloch'' and ''donacophilus'' groups; ''Cheracebus ''Cheracebus'' is one of three genera of titi monkeys. Monkeys in this genus, particularly the type species '' Cheracebus lugens'', are sometimes referred to as widow titi monkeys. Historically, titis were monogeneric, comprising only the genus ...'' Byrne et al., 2016 for the species of the ''torquatus'' group (Widow titis); and ''Callicebus'' Thomas, 1903 ''sensu stricto'', for species of the Atlantic Forest ''personatus'' group.

Brown Titi
The brown titi monkey (''Plecturocebus brunneus'') is a species of titi monkey, a type of New World monkey, from South America. It is endemic to Brazil. It was originally described as ''Callicebus brunneus'' in 1842 and transferred to the newly erected genus ''Plecturocebus'' in 2016. Taxonomy ''Plecturocebus'' are within a subfamily of titi called Callicebinae. Other genera included within this subfamily are the ''Cheracebus'', ''Callicebus'', and ''Plecturocebus;'' which are all still currently extant. The '' Xenothrix, Antillothrix'', ''Paralouatta, Carlocebus, Lagonimico'', and '' Tremacebus'' genera of Callicebinae are extinct. The Urubamba brown titi (''P. urubambensis'') of Peru was formerly thought to be a Peruvian population of ''P. brunneus'', but a 2015 study found it to be a distinct, undescribed species more closely related to the white-eared titi (''P. donacophilus''), and described it as such. The Brown Titi was classified as its own genus in 2016. Due to the p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ornate Titi Monkey
The ornate titi monkey (''Plecturocebus ornatus'') is a species of titi monkey and is the smallest member of the family Pitheciidae, which also includes uakaris and saki monkeys. As it is a member of this family, it is classified as a type of New World monkey. It is endemic to eastern Colombia, and the only member of the ''Plecturocebus moloch'' group to occur north of the Rios Amazonas/Solimes/Napo axis, living at least 350 km away from the closest other member, the white-tailed titi (''Plecturocebus discolor''), which lives in the south of Colombia. It was once classified as the same species as the white-tailed titi, but is now officially recognized as its own species. The ornate titi is also terrestrial. The ornate titi is present on the IUCN Red List of endangered species, being recognized as “Vulnerable”, and having a general decrease in population trends.

Milton's Titi Monkey
Milton's titi monkey (''Plecturocebus miltoni'') is a species of titi monkey, a type of New World monkey, from southern Amazon rainforest, Brazil.

Alta Floresta Titi Monkey
The Alta Floresta titi monkey (''Plecturocebus grovesi''), also known as the Groves' titi monkey, is a species of titi monkey, a type of New World monkey, endemic to Brazil. It was described from the municipality of Alta Floresta in the state of Mato Grosso. It is a member of the Eastern Amazonian clade of the red-bellied titi monkey (''P. moloch'') group, and is the sister taxon to the clade containing the red-bellied titi and Vieira's titi monkey (''P. vieirai''). It can be distinguished from other species in the ''P. moloch'' group by the combination of its agouti dorsal parts, the bright red-brown venter, the entirely black tail with a white tip, and the light yellow fur on the cheeks. This species is projected to lose up to 86% of its forest habitat under a typical deforestation rate, and is thus classified as Critically Endangered under the IUCN Red List The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, also known as the IUCN R ...
