On the identity of the tamarin AMNH 98303 (“<i>Saguinus fuscicollis tripartitus</i>”; Primates: Haplorrhini: Simiiformes: Platyrrhini: Callitrichidae)

<p>The American Museum of Natural History houses the skin of a tamarin (AMNH 98303) labelled as <i>Saguinus fuscicollis tripartitus</i>. However, the specimen does not match the phenotype of this taxon, now named <i>Leontocebus tripartitus</i>, nor that of any other kno...

description <p>The American Museum of Natural History houses the skin of a tamarin (AMNH 98303) labelled as <i>Saguinus fuscicollis tripartitus</i>. However, the specimen does not match the phenotype of this taxon, now named <i>Leontocebus tripartitus</i>, nor that of any other known species or subspecies of <i>Leontocebus</i>. In this note, we review past taxonomic revisions of the genus <i>Saguinus</i> – revisions that were largely driven by the contentious species or subspecies status of the golden-mantled saddleback tamarin <i>S. fuscicollis tripartitus</i> – and compare the phenotype of AMNH 98303 with those of other tamarins in the same genus to discuss the possible status of this specimen.</p>
