TheUrubamba brown titi monkey (Plecturocebus urubambensis) is a species oftiti monkey, a type ofNew World monkey,endemic toPeru.[2]
Populations in this species were formerly classified within thebrown titi (P. brunneus), but a 2015 study found it to be a distinct, undescribed species that also belonged in a differentspecies group ofPlecturocebus fromP. brunneus (theP. donacophilus group), and thus described it asP. urubambensis.[3][4][5][6] The results of this study were followed by theIUCN Red List,ITIS, andAmerican Society of Mammalogists.[2][7][8]
This species isendemic toPeru, where it is found east of theTambo River and west of theUrubamba,Manú, andMadre de Dios rivers.[7]
This species is not as grizzled asP. brunneus, and also has a varying amount of black on the head.[7]
