Abstract:White-browed titi monkeys (Callicebus discolor) have one of the largest distribution ranges of all titi monkey species, occurring from central Peru to southern Colombia. During a long-term study on the distribution of titi monkeys and other primates in Peru, we conducted extensive surveys in the San Martin Department of northeastern Peru. We encountered Callicebus discolor at the left bank of the Huallaga River, where the species most probably lives in sympatry with endemic San Martin titi monkeys (Callicebus oenanthe). Our study reveals an important extension of its formerly known distribution range. Massive deforestation activities in the region make studies on the habitat preferences of both species difficult, as most titi monkeys are confined to the remaining small remnants of the original forest. Urgent conservation measures are necessary to preserve the last lowland forests of San Martin.
