Fur rubbing, i.e. rubbing a substance or an object into the pelage, has been described in numerous Neotropical primate species, including species of titi monkeys, but it seems to be a rare behaviour. Here we describe a fur rubbing event in a wild coppery titi monkey ( ) with sp. (Rubiaceae) leaves observed and videotaped during a field study on vigilance behaviour between September-December 2019 in the Peruvian Amazon. Plants of the genus contain a great diversity of secondary metabolites and are often used in traditional medicine. We suggest that the fur rubbing was an act of self-medication. This is the first record of fur rubbing in coppery titi monkeys in almost 4400 h of observation accumulated over more than 20 years.
蹭毛行为，即将一种物质或物体擦进毛发中，在包括伶猴属物种在内的众多新热带灵长类物种中都有描述，但这似乎是一种罕见的行为。在此，我们描述了在2019年9月至12月于秘鲁亚马逊地区进行的关于警戒行为的野外研究期间观察到并拍摄到的一只野生铜色伶猴（ ）用茜草科 属植物的叶子进行蹭毛的事件。 属植物含有种类繁多的次生代谢产物，并且常用于传统医学。我们认为这种蹭毛行为是一种自我药疗行为。这是在20多年累计近4400小时的观察中首次记录到铜色伶猴的蹭毛行为。
