 | | The systematics of the subfamily Callitrichinae (Platyrrhini, Primates), a group of small monkeys from South America and Panama, remains an area of considerable discussion despite many investigations, there being continuing controversy over subgeneric taxonomic classifications based on morphological characters. |
 | | The basal genus of the Callitrichinae is Saguinus (Barroso et al., 1997; Chaves et al., 1999; Schneider et al., 1996), a widely distributed genus which occurs from the Amazon basin northward into Panama (Hershkovitz, 1977; Rylands et al. |
 | | Since Saguinus is basal to the other Callitrichinae (Schneider et al., 1996; Barroso et al., 1997; Chaves et al., 1999;) the outgroup could not come from this subfamily, because of which we used the monkey Cebus apella (Cebinae, Cebidae), a closely related taxon, as the outgroup. |
