GENUS Callithrix

Author:Erxleben, 1777.
Citation:Syst. Regni Anim.: 55.
Type Species:Simia jacchus Linnaeus, 1758.
Comments:Includes Mico (see Cabrera, 1958:185), Cebuella (see Groves, 1989:110-115), and Callithrix as subgenera, which Rylands et al. (2000) regarded as full genera. McKenna and Bell (1997) recognized Cebuella as a separate genus, but it forms a clade with Mico (Groves, 2001c). The fourth subgenus, Calibella, was described by van Roosmalen and van Roosmalen (2003) as a full genus.
