Leontocebus
The saddle-back tamarins are squirrel-sized New World monkeys from the family Callitrichidae in the genus or subgenus ''Leontocebus''. They were split from the tamarin genus ''Saguinus'' based on genetic data and on the fact that saddle-back tamarins are sympatric with members of ''Saguinus'' to a greater extent than would be expected from two members of the same genus. However, this argument can be circular, as several other mammals show sympatry among congeneric species, such as armadillos (genus ''Dasypus''), spotted cats (genus ''Leopardus''), and fruit-eating bats (genus ''Artibeus''). Some authors still consider ''Leontocebus'' to be a subgenus of ''Saguinus''. Species include: *Cruz Lima's saddle-back tamarin, ('' Leontocebus cruzlimai'') * Brown-mantled tamarin or Spix's saddle-back tamarin, ('' Leontocebus fuscicollis'') *Lesson's saddle-back tamarin, ('' Leontocebus fuscus'') * Illiger's saddle-back tamarin, ('' Leontocebus illigeri'') *Red-mantled saddle-back tamarin ...

Callitrichidae
The Callitrichidae (also called Arctopitheci or Hapalidae) are a family of New World monkeys, including marmosets, tamarins, and lion tamarins. At times, this group of animals has been regarded as a subfamily, called the Callitrichinae, of the family Cebidae. This taxon was traditionally thought to be a primitive lineage, from which all the larger-bodied platyrrhines evolved. However, some works argue that callitrichids are actually a dwarfed lineage.Naish, DarrenMarmosets and tamarins: dwarfed monkeys of the South American tropics Scientific American November 27, 2012 Ancestral stem-callitrichids likely were "normal-sized" ceboids that were dwarfed through evolutionary time. This may exemplify a rare example of insular dwarfing in a mainland context, with the "islands" being formed by biogeographic barriers during arid climatic periods when forest distribution became patchy, and/or by the extensive river networks in the Amazon Basin. All callitrichids are arboreal. They are ...

Leontocebus Tripartitus
The golden-mantled tamarin (''Leontocebus tripartitus'') is a tamarin species from South America. It is found in Ecuador and Peru, specifically in the upper Amazon (lowland), east of the Andes in Ecuador, and Northeast Peru; between the Rio Curaray and Rio Napo in Peru. Taxonomic classification There has been some debate over the placing of ''L. tripartitus.'' In field observations in South America, scientists compared feeding habits and heights between golden-mantled tamarins (''L. tripartitus'') and brown-mantled tamarins ('' Leontocebus fuscicollis'') and they concluded that patterns of height were very similar to those observed in ''L. fuscicollis''. The similarity and the lack of evidence for sympatry with either ''L. fuscicollis'' or the black-mantled tamarin ('' Leontocebus nigricollis'') led to the suggestion that ''L. tripartitus'' should be reconsidered as a subspecies of ''L. fuscicollis'' rather than a species on its own; alternatively, other subspecies of ''L. fusci ...
