 Callitrichidae or marmosets and tamarins - TheWebsiteOfEverything.com
Another very unusual trait found in the Callitrichidae is the actual sharing of food with young initiated by the possessor of the food.
This note is a reply to a recent one in the same journal that attempted to show that "Callithricidae", not the current Callitrichidae, is the correct family name for marmosets and tamarins.
The clinical and pathological expression of myelin-induced EAE in marmosets is thought to result from a synergy of cellular and humoral autoimmune reactivity predominantly directed against two Ags, namely myelin basic protein (MBP) (2, 6, 7) and(Full text)

 Problems and Proposed Solutions in Platyrrhine Phylogeny
Such knowledge on the temporal order of ancestral branchings separating these ceboid genera from one another is needed not only to solve problems of higher-level ceboid systematics but also to be able to place the problems of lower-level ceboid systematics in their broader phylogenetic context.
Traditional classifications employed for the Neotropical ceboid primates usually divide them into two families: Cebidae and Callitrichidae (7-9).
Cebidae contains all the ceboids except the small-bodied clawed marmosets and tamarins, which are placed in Callitrichidae.

 Investigate Biodiversity - New World Monkeys
Distinguished from the old world monkeys of Africa and Asia, new world monkeys, also called platyrrhines, have nostrils which are wide, circular and far apart, are small- to medium-sized, have long tails (sometimes prehensile), do not have buttock pads, and do not have cheek pouches.
Neotropical monkeys are taxonomically diverse and are typically grouped into two categories; the Callitrichidae, which include the marmosets and tamarins, and the cebide monkeys, which include the squirrel, capuchin, owl, titi, saki, uakari, howler, spider, wooly, and wooly spider monkeys.
Marmosets and tamarins form the family Callitrichidae and are considerably smaller than their new world counterparts.

This includes the families Callitrichidae (marmosets and tamarins), Callimiconidae (Goeldi's monkey) and Cebidae (cebids) with a total of 55 species according to Honacki et al.
Geographical distribution: The Cebidae family ranges from southern Mexico to northern Peru, along the Pacific slope and as far southeast as northern Argentina.
The more restricted tropical distribution of the Callitrichidae and Callimiconidae families runs from Costa Rica in the north to southern Brazil (91, 124, 255, 393).

Among such primates are the Callitrichidae and Callimiconidae families, which include the squirrel sized marmosets and tamarins.
At the Front Royal meeting in 1975 on the conservation of the Callitrichidae, there were long discussions about the size of the reserves required to maintain a viable population of several species.
Should this be achieved, it would again demonstrate that, given the will, not only the relatively easy Callitrichidae, Saimiri and Cebus can be bred for research or conservation but most other species and, if done in the countries of origin, at relatively low cost.
