Plecturocebus
''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.

Callicebinae
The titis, or titi monkeys, are New World monkeys of the subfamily Callicebinae, which contains three extant genera: ''Cheracebus'', ''Callicebus'', and ''Plecturocebus.'' This subfamily also contains the extinct genera '' Miocallicebus, Homunculus'', and ''Carlocebus''. Titi monkeys live in South America, from Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, east through Brazil, and south to Bolivia and northern Paraguay. Description Depending on species, titis have a head and body length of , and a tail, which is longer than the head and body, of . The different titi species vary substantially in coloring, but resemble each other in most other physical ways. They have long, soft fur, and it is usually reddish, brownish, grayish or blackish, and in most species the underside is lighter or more reddish than the upperside. Some species have contrasting blackish or whitish foreheads, while all members of the genus ''Cheracebus'' have a white half-collar. The tail is always furry and is not prehensil ...

Prince Bernhard's Titi Monkey
Prince Bernhard's titi monkey (''Plecturocebus bernhardi''), also called the zog-zog monkey, is a species of titi monkey in the genus ''Plecturocebus'', first described in 2002. It is named after Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. They have varying coloration of gray, black, and agouti, with dark orange in certain regions. They are endemic to Brazil, found mostly in disturbed forest environments. While officially listed as least-concern by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), they may, in fact, be at-risk due to human-caused deforestation. Etymology and taxonomy The species is known to locals of the regions it inhabits as a ''zog-zog'' or ''zogue-zogue''; however, that name has also been applied to the coppery titi monkey (''Plecturocebus cupreus''). Its English common name was selected in honor of Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, who created the Order of the Golden Ark, an award equivalent to knighthood, presented each year to a group of conservat ...

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. It was named after the Brazilian primatologist Milton Thiago de Mello. Milton's titi was discovered in 2011 by Julio César Dalponte, and recognized as a new species in 2014. Appearance Milton's titi has a light gray band on its forehead, dark ochre sideburns and throat, a dark grey torso and flanks, a uniformly orange tail, and a light ochre abdomen. Distribution and natural history ''Plecturocebus miltoni'' was discovered in the state of Mato Grosso and the state of Amazonas, Brazil. The geographic distribution is centered around the Aripuanã River, Roosevelt River and Guariba River.

Parecis Titi Monkey
The Parecis titi monkey (''Plecturocebus parecis'') is a species of titi monkey, a type of New World monkey, endemic to Brazil. Taxonomy This species was first discovered to Western science in 1914, where it was documented on the Parecis Plateau. Despite its clearly distinctive pelage, it was then identified as the ashy black titi (''P. cinerascens'') in a follow-up report. The species was rediscovered in the same region in 2011, where it was this time identified as a distinct, undescribed species. It was finally described as ''Plecturocebus parecis'' in 2019. The results of this study were followed by the IUCN Red List, ITIS, and American Society of Mammalogists. It is thought to be most closely related to ''P. cinerascens'', with the clade containing both being the sister group to Milton's titi (''P. miltoni''). It is known as ''otôhô'' in the local Paresi language. Distribution This species is endemic to a small portion of Brazil, where its range is still poorly define ...

Coppery Titi Monkey
The coppery titi monkey (''Plecturocebus cupreus''), or red titi monkey, is a species of titi monkey, a type of New World monkey, from South America. They are found in the Amazon of Brazil and Peru, and perhaps northern Bolivia. It was described as ''Callithrix cupreus'' in 1823. These monkeys have a lifespan of a little over 20 years. These monkeys eat certain fruits, insects, and plants. They live in monogamous pairs with interesting ways for vocalizing and protecting themselves from predators. Location, habitat and activity Coppery titis typically inhabit lowland tropical and sub-tropical forests in areas that flood seasonally. They can also be found in forest understory habitats, young forests, swamp edges, and bamboo thickets. Their populations are mainly found west of the Rio Madeira in Brazil, around the Rio Huallaga in Peru, within the upper Rio Madre de Dios basin in Peru and Bolivia, near the northern Rio-Maranon-Amazonas area, around the Eastern Cordillera in Peru and ...

Brown Titi Monkey
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] |
