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 ''Callicebus'' Thomas, 1903. Owing to the great diversity found across titi monkey species, a new genus-level taxonomy was recently proposed that recognises three genera within the subfamily Callicebinae; ''Cheracebus'' Byrne et al., 2016 for the species of the ''torquatus'' group (Widow titis); ''Plecturocebus'' Byrne et al., 2016 for the Amazonian and Chaco titis of the ''moloch'' and ''donacophilus'' groups; and ''Callicebus'' Thomas, 1903 ''sensu stricto'', for species of the Atlantic Forest ''personatus'' group. ''Cheracebus'' is derived from the Latin ''chera'' (from the Greek ) meaning widow and ''cebus'' (from the Greek ) meaning long tailed monkey. Species There are 5 species in this genus: * Lucifer titi monkey, ''Cheracebus luci ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cheracebus Torquatus
The collared titi monkey (''Cheracebus torquatus'') is a species of titi, a type of New World monkey. It is endemic to northern Brazil. Taxonomy At the end of the 1980s, the genus '' Callicebus'' was revised from the Hershkovitz concept of three species to thirteen neotropical species, with the collared titi, ''Callicebus torquatus'', having four subspecies. In 2001, Colin Groves elevated one of the subspecies, the Colombian black-handed titi, ''C. t. medemi'', to ''Callicebus medemi'' and a year later Van Roosmalen ''et al.'' elevated the remaining subspecies to species. These last changes were made with few arguments to support the changes and were apparently influenced by the increasing use of the so-called phylogenetic species concept of Cracraft, which seeks to define species as the "smallest diagnosable cluster of individual organisms within which there is a parental pattern of ancestry and descent." The species complex was updated to ''Cheracebus'' in 2016. The rece ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 prehensi ...

Black Titi
The black titi monkey (''Cheracebus lugens''), is a species of titi, a type of New World monkey, from South America. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. It was described in 1811 as ''Callicebus lugens''. It is sometimes called the widow monkey. Distribution This species has the largest range of the ''Cheracebus'' species, ranging from the Branco River and Rio Negro north to the Orinoco and Caqueta river basins. The species has been observed on the left bank of the Guayabero River,, where it was collected in 1959 by Jorge Hernández Camacho, both in La Macarena National Park, and recently it was observed by the Colombian biologist Rocío Palanco north of the Guayabero above La Cordillera de los Picachos National Park. The species is found in the Vichada selva between the Vichada and Guaviare Rivers and the northernmost Colombian population extends north of the Vichada River, reaching the middle Tomo River, where it probably extends to the upper Tomo, altho ...

Cheracebus Medemi
The Colombian black-handed titi monkey (''Cheracebus medemi'') is a species of titi, a type of New World monkey, endemic to Colombia. It was originally described in the genus '' Callicebus'' in 1963. Description Colombian black-handed titis are relatively small primates with a fluffy coat and a long, bushy tail. This is longer than the body and cannot be used as a prehensile tail. The fur is predominantly black, and in contrast to closely related species, so are the hands. The head is small and roundish, along the throat a white or yellow, collar-like marking extends to the ears.
