White-eared titi and climb. It leaps small distances, no more than a few body lengths, between trees where vegetation is not thick enough to support its primary forms of locomotion. When travelling on the ground it is said to use a "bounding movement" whereby it leaps more than off the ground. The titi monkey prefers branches which are less than in diameter and its tail never touches the support it is on. There is relatively little known about the ecology of the white-eared titi or even titi monkeys in general, and few studies have focused on the white-eared titi. It is diurnal,
Collared titi least two species in this complex. But whether the Lucifer titi, "Cheracebus lucifer", or the Colombian black-handed titi, "Cheracebus medemi", are good species from this complex is in doubt. They are probably subspecies of "Cheracebus torquatus". Nevertheless, in this treatment "C. torquatus" is used in the sense of Hershkovitz (1990) until the systematics of this species complex becomes clearer. Five adults weighed an average of 1462 g (range 1410–1722 g) with a head-body length of around 290–390 mm and a tail length of about 350–400 mm. The face has very little hair, being limited to sparse short white hairs over
