Prince Bernhard's titi monkey (Plecturocebus bernhardi) is a species of titi, within the subfamily Callicebinae.
Etymology
The species is known to locals of the regions it inhabits as a zog-zog or zogue-zogue. Its English common name was selected in honor of Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, who created the Order of the Golden Ark, an award equivalent to knighthood, presented each year to a group of conservationists.[2]
Taxonomy
Prince Bernhard's titi monkey belongs to the genus Plecturocebus. It was originally described by Marc van Roosmalen et al. in 2002 as Callicebus bernhardi.[2] In 2016, the genus was split into four new genera, with bernhardi ending up in the moloch group of the newly-created genus Plecturocebus. Other members of that group include P. moloch, P. cinerascens, P. hoffmannsi, P. baptista, and P. brunneus.[3]
Physical characteristics
C. bernhardi has dark orange sideburns, underparts, and inner limbs. The upper regions of the body and head are grayish black, while on the back, it is mixed with brownish agouti or reddish brown. The ears are also black, with whitish tufts. The mostly-black tail is contrasted by a white tip. Its hairs are 5 centimetres (2.0 in) long.[2]
Conservation
The Prince Bernhard's titi monkey is of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). It is considered to not be at risk due to its large range and lack of human impact on its habitat. It has a stable population and no known threats.[1]
