Taxonomically, it is a member of the ""Callicebus cupreus" group" (now "Plecturocebus cupreus"), following Shunsuke Kobayashi's "Callicebus" grouping. It was first described by Thomas Defler, Marta Bueno and Javier Garcia in 2010. It is highly endangered due to habitat fragmentation and a small population. Its fur is generally brown, with a lighter tail and chestnut-red undersides, neck and cheeks. It is similar in appearance to the ornate

It has 22 chromosome pairs (not counting the sex chromosomes), with a diploid chromosome number of 2n=46. In the paper describing the species, the authors recommend that the species be classified as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). According to the authors' estimate, the population size of the species may be fewer than 250 adult animals. It lives in forests fragmented by
