The Urubamba brown titi (Plecturocebus urubambensis) is a species of titi, a type of New World monkey, endemic to Peru.[2]

Taxonomy

Populations in this species were formerly classified within the brown titi (P. brunneus), but a 2015 study found it to be a distinct, undescribed species that also belonged in a different species group of Plecturocebus from P. brunneus (the P. donacophilus group), and thus described it as P. urubambensis.[3][4][5][6] The results of this study were followed by the IUCN Red List, ITIS, and American Society of Mammalogists.[2][7][8]

Distribution

This species is endemic to Peru, where it is found east of the Tambo River and west of the Urubamba, Manú, and Madre de Dios rivers.[7]

Description

This species is not as grizzled as P. brunneus, and also has a varying amount of black on the head.[7]
