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 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
