The gold-and-white marmoset (Mico chrysoleucos), also known as the golden-white tassel-ear marmoset, is a species of marmoset, a small monkey endemic to the Amazon rainforest in eastern Amazonas state, Brazil. It belongs to the genus Mico in the family Callitrichidae, the marmosets and tamarins. The species was described by Johann Andreas Wagner in 1842, and the spelling chrysoleucus that appears in older literature is treated as a variant of the accepted spelling chrysoleucos by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility taxonomic backbone. Published accounts of its biology are sparse, so this entry records only its identity, its range and its place in the marmoset genus.
