The pigments are produced by melanocytes which deposit the pigments into the medulla of growing hair so that the hair grows with the color of that distinct pigment. The characteristic pigment of the Callicebus is eumelanin (dark brown or black) found in the iris, skin, and hair (usually on the forehead, crown and tail).

Callicebus is a genus of monkeys known as 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 ...
The coppery titi monkey (Plecturocebus cupreus) or red titi monkey [3] is a species of titi monkey, a type of New World monkey, from South America. [2] They are found in the Amazon of Brazil and Peru, and perhaps northern Bolivia. [2] It was described as Callithrix cupreus in 1823. [2] These monkeys have a lifespan of a little over 20 years. [4]
The black titi usually attempts to move out of the path of passing troops of brown woolly monkey or tufted capuchin, although sometimes the small monkeys give a burst of loud and aggressive-sounding vocalization ("bark") when they are approached closely by the larger species.
