The eastern pygmy marmoset (Cebuella niveiventris) is one of the smallest New World monkeys, found in the southwestern Amazon rainforest in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru. It was long regarded as the same species as the western pygmy marmoset, but it has whitish underparts and its range lies mainly south of the Amazon (Solimoes) and Maranon rivers; DNA testing has confirmed it as distinct and has also shown it in Ecuador. It weighs about 110 to 120 grams, with claw-like nails for clinging to trunks, large lower incisors for gouging bark and a diet of tree sap, gum and latex supplemented by insects and some fruit.
