Caquetá titi agricultural activity, and dispersal is hazardous since it must cross open savanna or barbed wire in order to reach new nearby forest fragments. The species has a geographic range of just about and actually occupies only about within that range. All 13 groups studied consisted of a single adult male, a single adult female and between one and four immature monkeys. Average group size, including adults and immatures, was 4.1 monkeys. This is consistent with other titi monkey species, which form small, cohesive groups led by a bonded pair of adults. Like other titi monkey species, they are monogamous and
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
