The brown titi (Plecturocebus brunneus) is a species of titi, a type of New World monkey, from South America. It is found in Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia.[3] It was originally described as Callicebus brunneus in 1842 and transferred to the newly erected genus Plecturocebus in 2016.[2]

Conservation status[]

As of its last assessment in 2008, the brown titi was rated as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List. Current population trends for the species were reported as unknown.[1]

The species is somewhat threatened by hunting in Bolivia. It is not typically hunted in Brazil. The main threat in the Brazilian state of Rondônia is human development.[1]
