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",
Coimbra Filho's titi preferred habitat for Coimbra Filho's titi consists of densely wooded areas, preferring the dense understory and lower canopy. However, it is able to survive in damaged or fragmented forests, which currently comprise a large portion of its range. This is due to a tolerance to highly disturbed areas, as well as the ability to subsist in areas composed primarily of young or second growth forests. While other species in "Callicebus" are native to many areas of South America from Colombia to Brazil, Peru and north Paraguay, Coimbra Filho's titi is found only in a very small area in the states
