Coimbra Filho's titi monkey (Callicebus coimbrai) is a titi monkey in the genus Callicebus, family Pitheciidae, the New World monkeys that also include the other titis, the sakis and the uakaris. The Mammal Diversity Database credits the species name to Kobayashi & Langguth, 1999 and lists its country distribution as Brazil. It is endemic to forests in the Brazilian states of Bahia and Sergipe, was first discovered by Shuji Kobayashi, and is considered one of the most endangered of all Neotropical primates.
