Description

Hershkovitz (1977), who classified the marmoset genus Callithrix into C. jacchus, C. argentata and C. humeralifer, presented the baseline for all the current research and investigation on the marmoset taxonomy. After then, however, some new forms have been described and there is still controversy in the species arrangements.<br>In the Atlantic region, C. jacchus, C. penicillata, C. kuhlii, C. geoffroyi, C. flaviceps and C. aurita are recognizable as distinct species on the basis of the information of natural hybridization and the trend of current marmoset taxonomy. On the other hand, it is difficult to show a general trend of species arrangements in the Amazonian forms because taxonomists are divided as to the species recognition. However, C. argentata, C. humeralifer, C. emiliae in Pará-Mato Grosso, and C. humilis at least are considered as valid species.
