Saddle-back Tamarin
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 ...

Brown-mantled Tamarin
The brown-mantled tamarin (''Leontocebus fuscicollis''), also known as Spix's saddle-back tamarin, is a species of saddle-back tamarin. This New World monkey is found in the Southern American countries of Bolivia, Brazil and Peru. This omnivorous member of the Callitrichidae family is usually found in smaller groups ranging between 4 and 15 individuals. This species communicates vocally and largely rely their olfactory system. The brown-mantled tamarin is considered as a species of Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, despite a decreasing population and being threatened by poaching, habitat loss and capture for the illegal pet trade. Taxonomy There are 4 subspecies: *''L. f. avilapiresi'', Avila Pires' saddle-back tamarin *''L. f. fuscicollis'', Spix's saddle-back tamarin *''L. f. mura'', Mura's saddleback tamarin *''L. f. primitivus'', Lako's saddleback tamarin Cruz Lima's saddle-back tamarin, Lesson's saddle-back tamarin, Illiger's saddle-back ...

Illiger's Saddle-back Tamarin
Illiger's saddle-back tamarin (''Leontocebus illigeri'') is a species of saddle-back tamarin, a type of small monkey from South America. Illiger's saddle-back tamarin was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the brown-mantled tamarin, ''L. fuscicollis''. It is closely related to the Andean saddle-back tamarin. It is endemic to the Peruvian Amazon and its type locality is in Loreto, Peru, at the left bank of the lower Rio Ucayali. Illiger's saddle-back tamarin has a head and body length of between and with a tail length between and long. Males weigh about and females weight about . The IUCN rates it as near threatened A near-threatened species is a species which has been categorized as "Near Threatened" (NT) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as that may be vulnerable to endangerment in the near future, but it does not currently qualify fo ... from a conservation standpoint.

Weddell's Saddle-back Tamarin
Weddell's saddle-back tamarin (''Leontocebus weddelli'') is a species of saddle-back tamarin, a type of small monkey from South America.

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 ...
