Titi 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); "Callicebus" Thomas, 1903, for species of the Atlantic Forest "personatus" group; and "Plecturocebus" Byrne et al. (2016) for the Amazonian and Chaco titis of the "moloch" and "donacophilus" groups. Titi The titis, or titi monkeys, are the New World monkeys of the subfamily Callicebinae, which contains three extant genera, "Cheracebus", "Callicebus", and "Plecturocebus." This subfamily also contains the extinct genera "Xenothrix, Antillothrix",
Ornate titi daily activity lasts for around 11.5 hours, with feeding taking up around 2.7 hours. Their day is typically split into two feeding sessions, one in the morning and one in the evening, with a resting session at around midday. The last few hours of the day are generally spent feeding on leaves. The predominant and most important predators of all titis are raptors. Several species of raptor have been observed attacking a titi, including the Guianan crested eagle ("Morphnus guianensis") and the Ornate hawk-eagle ("Spizaetus ornatus"). Tufted capuchins ("Cebus apella") have also been observed killing and consuming an ornate titi.
