Real Madrid left-back Marcelo has also returned after being overlooked for the centenary edition of the Copa America in June.
Other Chinese based-players named were Gil (Shandong Luneng) and Renato Augusto (Beijing Guoan).
As expected, the 23-man squad includes Neymar, Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho and new Manchester City signing Gabriel Jesus.
Tite replaced Dunga as Brazil's national coach in June after the team's group-stage elimination from the Copa America.
Brazil will play Ecuador in Quito on Sept. 1 followed by a clash with Colombia in Manaus five days later.
The Selecao are currently sixth in the South American zone qualifying standings for 2018 World Cup in Russia. The top four teams will book a direct berth in the tournament while the fifth-ranked side will earn a playoff spot.
