The black-mantled tamarin, Saguinus nigricollis, is a species of tamarin from the northwestern Amazon in far western Brazil, southeastern Colombia and northeastern Peru. It has often included the Graells's Tamarin as a subspecies (in which case the distribution extends into eastern Ecuador),[3] but differs from that species in having reddish-orange rump and thighs.[4] The two are often said to be sympatric in Colombia (a major argument for treating them as separate species), though the accuracy of such reports has been questioned.[5] The body length 15 -28 cm. The tail length is 27-42 cm.
Family groups consisting of a male, a female and 1 or 2 young live in a defined territoty - the female marks brances on the boundaries of the territory with secretions of her anal glands and urine. The female gives birth to 2 young after a gestation of 140 to 150 days. It mainly eats insects, leaves, and fruit.
