Hershkovitz's marmoset

Hershkovitz's marmoset (Mico intermedius), also called the Aripuana marmoset, is a marmoset species endemic to the south-central Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Its common name honours the American zoologist Philip Hershkovitz. Like the other marmosets of the genus Mico it is a small New World monkey of the family Callitrichidae. Among the predators recorded for the species are slaty-backed forest falcons, which take marmosets from the canopy. The species is known from a restricted part of the Brazilian Amazon, and published accounts of its diet, size and conservation status are much thinner than for better studied marmosets, so those details are left unfilled here until sourced from further references.
