Maués marmoset

Mammals

The Maués marmoset (Mico mauesi) is a species of marmoset, a small New World monkey, that is endemic to Brazil. It is found only on the west bank of the Maués Açu River, in the state of Amazonas. The species was described in 1992 by Russell Mittermeier, Marco Schwarz and José Márcio Ayres, and its article links the Wikispecies entry Callithrix mauesi, an older genus placement. Its common name comes from the river whose bank bounds its known range. The Wikipedia article is a short stub and its infobox records an IUCN status of Least Concern, so little else about its ecology is stated there.
