Callicebus caligatus View in CoL
French: Titi a ventre chatain / German: Braunbauch-Springaffe / Spanish: Titi de vientre castano
Other common names: Booted Titi
Taxonomy. Callithrix caligata Wagner, 1842 View in CoL ,
Borba, Rio Madeira, Brazil.
M. van Roosmalen and coworkers in 2002 noted that C. caligatus occurs only on the west bank of the Rio Madeira. A lectoparatype was collected from Manaquiri on the right (south) bank of the Rio Solimoes in Amazonas State, which 1s within the known distribution of C. caligatus . In 2001, C. P. Groves considered it to be a synonym of C. cupreus , but in 2005, he listed it as a full species, agreeing with the 1990 revision of P. Hershkovitz. C. caligatus is a member of the cupreus species group. It may intergrade with the distribution of C. stephennashi at the Rio Ipixuna area. Monotypic.
Distribution. Brazilian Amazon S of the Rio Solimoes-Amazonas, in the Purus-Madeira interfluvium in the Amazonas State, extending as far S and W as the Rio Ipixuna. View Figure

Their bodies are predominantly reddish brown agouti, and their underparts, throat, sideburns, and lower arms are reddish. Cheiridia (hands and feet) are blackish to reddish brown. Forehead and anterior portion of crown are black.
