Mammals

Ornate titi monkey (Plecturocebus ornatus) is a titi monkey in the genus Plecturocebus, 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 (J. E. Gray, 1866) and lists its country distribution as Colombia. It is the smallest member of the family Pitheciidae and is endemic to eastern Colombia. It is the only member of the Plecturocebus moloch group to occur north of the Amazon, Solimões and Napo river axis, living at least 350 kilometres from the closest other member, the white-tailed titi, with which it was once classified as the same species. The English Wikipedia article reports a general decrease in its population. The Mammal Diversity Database gives its IUCN Red List status as Vulnerable.
