The eastern black-handed tamarin (Saguinus ursulus) is a species of tamarin endemic to Brazil.
Taxonomy
Saguinus ursulus was described in 1807 by the German zoologist
S. niger, the western black-handed tamarin, and S. ursulus, the eastern black-handed tamarin. The Tocantins River which divided the range was found to constitute an effective gene flow barrier.[3][1] As a consequence of the genetic divergence, as well as minor differences in pelage color, the population east of the Tocantins River was recognised as a separate species.[1]
