This titi monkey was described from the Rio Purus region of the Brazilian Amazon. The original account distinguished it as occurring east of the river.
The original description contrasts a black forehead with a silver or buffy back; the lower arms and legs are red, while the hands and tail tip are pale.
The original account treats titi monkeys as arboreal. It does not provide a detailed study of this species’ daily diet or group behavior.
