This article is about the New World monkey. For the tropical plant, see Tamarind. For other uses, see Tamarin (disambiguation).
The tamarins are squirrel-sized New World monkeys from the family Callitrichidae in the genus Saguinus. They are the first offshoot in the Callitrichidae tree, and therefore are the sister group of a clade formed by the lion tamarins, Goeldi's monkeys and marmosets.[3]
