PlecturocebusTypically

PlecturocebusTypically is not a recognized scientific term. No species or taxonomic group by that exact name exists in major scientific databases or taxonomic references. The string appears to be a typographical error or a concatenation of the genus name Plecturocebus with the adverb typically. The likely intended reference is Plecturocebus, a genus of titi monkeys.

Plecturocebus comprises several species of small to medium-sized New World primates belonging to the subfamily Callicebinae within the family Pitheciidae. Members are generally characterized by dense fur and a robust build, with facial coloration and markings that vary among species. Most Plecturocebus species exhibit long-lasting pair bonds and live in family groups, often with biparental care where both parents participate in rearing offspring. Vocal communication is important in territory defense, with complementary duets performed by cohabiting adults.

The genus is distributed across tropical forests of northern and central South America, particularly the Amazon basin, with occurrences in portions of Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Bolivia. Some species are found in fringe habitats such as forest edges and transitional zones, and historical classifications have placed several species in nearby regions, including parts of the Guianas and, in some revisions, Atlantic forest areas. Diet is omnivorous, commonly featuring fruits, leaves, seeds, and occasional insects, with foraging behavior tied to forest seasonality and fruit availability.

Conservation status varies by species, ranging from Least Concern to Endangered. Habitat loss, fragmentation, and hunting pressures threaten many populations, highlighting the importance of protected areas and forest connectivity for long-term persistence.
