In the subdivision Jacchus of the "Famllle des Hapales," under 

 Simla the following species of Callithrix are given: (S.) 

 penicillata; (S.) aurita; (S.) humeralifer; (S.) mela- 

 nurus = C. argentata; and (S.) geoffroyl = C. aurita 

 (E. Geoffroy). Humboldt cites Geoffroy as the Author of the 

 new species notwithstanding the fact Geoffroy's paper was 

 apparently published a year later; but I. Geoffroy gives 1815 

 as the date of Humboldt's article.

The genus Jacchus is divided into two subgenera Oulstltl and

 Tamarln includes such species as were known to the Author, 

 and which are in this work contained in the genera Seniocebus, 

 Leontocebus and CEdipomidas.
