This paper describes a new species of titi monkey, Callicebus aureipalatii, recently discovered in the Madidi protected area of northwestern Bolivia. Descriptions are based on observations, photographs and video material, and the subsequent collection of two specimens. Preliminary surveys and notes on habitat associations indicate that C. aureipalatii is limited in distribution to the western side of the Río Beni.

It is found in the Andean foothills and immediately adjacent lowland forests. Line transect studies at four sites and subsequent extrapolations based on available suitable habitat suggest that population densities are sufficiently high to ensure the protection of this species within the confines of the Madidi protected area. This finding is discussed with reference to the general lack of knowledge regarding titi monkey distributions in Bolivia.

Resumen: Este artículo describe una nueva especie de mono tití, Callicebus aureipalatii, recientemente descubierto en el área protegida Madidi en el noroeste de Bolivia. Las descripciones están basada en observaciones, fotografías y video, y la colección resultante de dos especimenes. Evaluaciones preliminares y notas sobre uso de hábitat indican que C. aureipalatii tiene una distribución limitada al oeste del Río Beni.

Se encuentra en el pie de monte andino y el bosque de tierras bajas adyacente. Estudios de transectas lineales en cuatro sitios y subsecuentes extrapolaciones basadas en cantidad de hábitat disponible, sugieren que las densidades de población son suficientemente altas para asegurar la protección de esta especie dentro de los límites del área protegida Madidi. Este descubrimiento es discutido en referencia a la falta de conocimiento general sobre la distribución de los monos tití en Bolivia.
