Emilia's marmoset

Mammals

Emilia's marmoset (Mico emiliae), also known as Snethlage's marmoset, is a species of marmoset, a small New World monkey, that is endemic to Brazil. It is found only in the Brazilian states of Pará and Mato Grosso. The species was described by Oldfield Thomas in 1920 and is now placed in the genus Mico. It was named to honour the German-born Brazilian ornithologist Emilie Snethlage. Its common name is therefore a tribute to a scientist rather than a description of the animal itself. The Wikipedia article places it among the arboreal mammals of Brazil and its infobox records an IUCN status of Least Concern, with a range map showing its geographic range within South America.
