Toppin’s Titi[1] (Plecturocebus toppini) is a species of Titi, a species of New World Monkey endemic to Bolivia, Peru, and Brazil.
- It was described by Oldfield Thomas in 1914 but was later thought to be conspecific with the coppery Titi (Plecturocebus cupreus). However, a 2015 publication revived it as a distinct species and found it phenotypically distinct from Plecturocebus cupreus.
- It is a reddish-colored species with a less fluffy and whitish tail than coppery Titi.
- The upper and outer surfaces of the body and head are agouti-colored; its fur is striped with alternating light and dark stripes of red and brown.
- Their hind legs are shorter than the front legs. Despite this, they move through the lower levels of the forest with short leaps.
- Their long, intangible tails are used for balance when moving.
