A general term for small New World monkeys belonging to the primate family Callithricidae. They are also called marmosets (illustration). The word marmoset is said to come from an Old French word meaning "small and strange thing." The name marmoset comes from the fact that the scientific name of the genus Callithrix means "silk hair." The classification of the family Marmoset varies among scholars, with 2-5 genera and 20-30 species. The genus Marmoset, the tamarin genus Saguinus , and the lion tamarin genus Leontopithecus are included, and the Guerde monkey is sometimes included at the subfamily level.
