Graells's tamarin, Leontocebus nigricollis graellsi, is a subspecies of the black-mantled tamarin from the northwestern Amazon in southeastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador and northeastern Peru. ^{[3] [4]} It differs from other black-mantled tamarins in having a dull olive-brown (no reddish-orange) lower back, rump and thighs. ^{[5] [6]} However, molecular genetic analysis does not support treating Graell's tamarin as a separate species from the black-mantled tamarin. ^[3]
