Ornate titi Ornate titi The ornate titi ("Plecturocebus ornatus") is a species of titi and is the smallest member of the family Pitheciidae, which also includes uakaris and saki monkeys. As it is a member of this family, it is classified as a type of New World monkey. It is endemic to eastern Colombia, and the only member of the "Plecturocebus moloch" group to occur north of the Rios Amazonas/Solimes/Napo axis, living at least 350 km away from the closest other member, the white-tailed titi ("Plecturocebus discolor"), which lives in the south of Colombia. It was once classified as the same species
Collared titi meat the species is found commonly close to Indian settlements. The species is classified "Least Concern" (formerly LR) in the IUCN Red List. Actually the Colombian black-handed titi may be slightly endangered due to its presence in a zone of heavy colonization, but presently it is classified LC with the other subspecies. Fortunately the Colombian black-handed titi is found in La Paya National Park in Colombia, although the park itself is very vulnerable to surrounding colonization. The Lucifer titi is protected in Colombia by Amacayacu National Park and Cahuinarí National Park, while the black titi may be protected in Chiribiquete
