The Mammal Diversity Database credits the species name to (von Hoffmannsegg, 1807) and lists its country distribution as Brazil.

It is diurnal and moves in pairs or family groups that communicate with a wide repertoire of sounds, feeding on fruit, insects, spiders, small birds and bird's eggs, and the female gives birth to a single offspring.
