Mittermeier3 1Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, Caixa Postal 478, Manaus 69083-000, Amazonas, Brazil. 2Center for Environmental Research and Conservation CERC, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, USA. 3Conservation International, 1919 M St. NW, Washington, DC 20036, USA. Abstract This paper provides a taxonomic review of the titi monkeys, genus Callicebus, and describes two new species from central Brazilian Amazonia, Callicebus bernhardi and Callicebus stephennashi. Previous revisions include Hershkovitz (1988, 1990), Kobayashi (1995), Kobayashi and Langguth (1999) and Groves (1993, 2001). Here we arrange the titi monkeys, genus Callicebus Thomas, 1903, into five Species Groups or clades, and a total of 28 species. The Callicebus donacophilus Group is represented by the following species: Callicebus modestus Lönnberg, 1939, Callicebus donacophilus (d’Orbigny, 1836), Callicebus pallescens Thomas, 1907 (treated by Hershkovitz as a subspecies of C. donacophilus), Callicebus olallae Lönnberg, 1939, and Callicebus oenanthe Thomas, 1924. The Callicebus moloch Group is represented by the following species: Callicebus cinerascens (Spix, 1823), Callicebus hoffmannsi Thomas, 1908, Callicebus baptista Lönnberg, 1939 (treated by Hershkovitz as a subspecies of C. hoffmannsi), Callicebus brunneus (Wagner, 1842), Callicebus moloch (Hoffmannsegg, 1807), and the new species here described as Callicebus bernhardi. The Callicebus cupreus Group is represented by the following species: Callicebus cupreus (Spix, 1823), Callicebus discolor (I. Geoffroy & Deville, 1848) (treated by Hershkovitz as a subspecies of C.
