Napo Tamarin (Saguinus (nigricollis) graellsi)

This has been proposed as a split from Black-mantled Tamarin, and both, Napo Tamarin and Graell's Tamarin, have been used as a common name for this species.

At Wild Sumaco they have a habituated group. A supply of bananas is deposited in a tree every morning. On my last afternoon a neighbouring troup threatened to enter the territory of the local gang, which gave me a chance to observe them from quite a close distance while they were distracted.
