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",
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
