The titis, or titi monkeys, are the New World monkeys of the genus Callicebus. They are the only extant members of the Callicebinae subfamily, which also contains the extinct genera Xenothrix, Antillothrix (German article), Paralouatta, Carlocebus, Homunculus, Lagonimico and possibly also Tremacebus.

Titis live in South America, from Colombia to Brazil, Peru and north Paraguay.

Titis are monogamous, mating for life. The female bears a single young animal after about a five-month gestation. Twins occur rarely.[citation needed] The more "laid-back" adult cares for the young.[citation needed] Often it is the father who cares for the young, carrying it and bringing it to the mother only for nursing. The young are weaned after 5 months and are fully grown after two years. After three or more years, they leave their family group in order to find a mate. Their life expectancy is up to 12 years in the wild.
