The Zoochat Photographic Guide To New World Primates

To round out the coverage of primates in these photographic/taxonomic guides, this thread will cover the various members of the Platyrrhini; however, I will be tackling the group in a style closer to my carnivore threads and the Old World Primate thread by @Chlidonias - with a post for each genus, rather than each species - rather than the style found in my Prosimian thread.

This is mostly because I've decided the former style works better for these threads, but also because finding a way to describe the range of each species was getting a little time-consuming and frustrating

 

PLATYRRHINI



This lineage comprises five extant families:

CALLITRICHIDAE - 48 extant species across six genera

CEBIDAE - 14 extant species across three genera

AOTIDAE - 11 extant species within a single genus

PITHECIIDAE - 56 extant species within four genera

ATELIDAE - 29 extant species within five genera

Interesting - looking at the identification charts for Saddleback Tamarins visible via Google Images, deriving from this paper, it looks like it could also be Cruz Lima's Saddleback:

....and that is the Callitrichidae completed; I'm honestly quite pleasantly surprised at how well-represented the group is in the Zoochat gallery beyond the handful of "mainstay" species.

As usual, a list of species which are still unrepresented follows in the hope that it may encourage anyone who does have photographs of any of them to upload these to the Zoochat gallery:

Buffy-headed Marmoset Callithrix flaviceps
Rio Acarí Marmoset Mico acariensis
Emilia's Marmoset Mico emiliae
Roosmalens' Dwarf Marmoset Mico humilis
Hershkovitz's Marmoset Mico intermedius
White Marmoset Mico leucippe
Marca's Marmoset Mico marcai
Maués Marmoset Mico mauesi
Black-headed Marmoset Mico nigriceps
Sateré Marmoset Mico saterei
Cruz Lima's Saddleback Tamarin Saguinus cruzlimai
Lesson's Saddleback Tamarin Saguinus fuscus
Geoffroy's Saddleback Tamarin Saguinus nigrifrons
Golden-mantled Saddleback Tamarin Saguinus tripartitus
Martins's Tamarin Saguinus martinsi
Superagui Lion Tamarin Leontopithecus caissara

However, before I move onto the next family of New World Primates - the Cebidae - I will shortly conclude my coverage of the Callitrichidae with a bonus post highlighting a variety of hybrid individuals, given how relatively-easily members of this group tend to interbreed.
