Geogr. Distr. Known only from the vicinity of Ypanema, Sao 

 Paulo, Brazil.

 vent, arms, edge of thighs, hands and feet jet black, with a few white 

 hairs above eyes ; rump and thighs golden, grading into rusty red near 

 ankles; base of tail like rump, remainder black. Ex specimen in

This is a black Tamarin, and differs from L. nigricollis in hav-

 is rare in collections, and so far as I could learn, has only been procured 

 from the vicinity of Ypanema, Sao Paulo Province, where Natterer 

 obtained it.
