Titi Monkey
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 prehensile. ...

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] |
