The ashy black titi monkey (Plecturocebus cinerascens) is a species of titi monkey, a type of New World monkey, endemic to Brazil. [2] It was originally described as Callithrix cinerascens in 1823. [ 2 ]
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. Titis frequently hides and shows much caution towards raptors.
The titis, or titi monkeys, are New World monkeys of the subfamily Callicebinae, which contains three extant genera: Cheracebus, Callicebus, and Plecturocebus. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This subfamily also contains the extinct genera Miocallicebus , Homunculus , and Carlocebus .
The black-fronted titi monkey (Callicebus nigrifrons) is a species of titi, a type of New World monkey.. The black-fronted titi is a small diurnal primate. [3] The body of this primate is covered in grey to brown fur with black fur concentrated around the face, the tail is slightly orange in color.
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 ...
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 ...
Pitheciids are small to medium-sized monkeys, ranging from 23 cm in head-body length for the smaller titis, to 44–49 cm for the uakaris. They have medium to long fur, in a wide range of colors, often with contrasting patches, especially on the face.
Titi monkeys from the Parecis Plateau were first reported by scientists in 1914, and subsequently identified as the ashy black titi (P. cinerascens) in a follow-up report. Such titi monkeys were then suggested to belong to a distinctive species in 2011, and described as a distinctive species, Plecturocebus parecis, in 2019.
