<span class="mw-page-title-main">Saddle-back tamarin</span> Genus of New World monkeys

The saddle-back tamarins are squirrel-sized New World monkeys from the family Callitrichidae in the genus or subgenus Leontocebus. They were split from the tamarin genus Saguinus based on genetic data and on the fact that saddle-back tamarins are sympatric with members of Saguinus to a greater extent than would be expected from two members of the same genus. However, this argument can be circular, as several other mammals show sympatry among congeneric species, such as armadillos, spotted cats, and fruit-eating bats. Some authors still consider Leontocebus to be a subgenus of Saguinus.
