Geographic range

The brown-mantled tamarin is sympatric with the pygmy marmoset, sharing the same habitat in South American counties, and will often raid the gum holes of this species.[6] It sometimes associates with the red-bellied tamarin.[5]

Brown-mantled tamarins occupy an extensive area of northern Amazonia.[7]

There are 4 subspecies:[4][5]

  • L. f. avilapiresi, Avila Pires' saddle-back tamarin
  • L. f. fuscicollis, Spix's saddle-back tamarin
  • L. f. mura, Mura's saddleback tamarin
  • L. f. primitivus, Lako's saddleback tamarin

Cruz Lima's saddle-back tamarin, Lesson's saddle-back tamarin, Illiger's saddle-back tamarin, the red-mantle saddle-back tamarin, the Andean saddle-back tamarin, Geoffroy's saddle-back tamarin and Weddell's saddle-back tamarin were all formerly considered subspecies of the brown-mantled tamarin.[4]
