Illiger's saddle-back tamarin (Leontocebus illigeri) is a species of saddle-back tamarin, a type of small monkey from South America. Illiger's saddle-back tamarin was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the brown-mantled tamarin, L. fuscicollis.[2][3] It is closely related to the Andean saddle-back tamarin.[3] It is endemic to the Peruvian Amazon and its type locality is in Loreto, Peru, at the left bank of the lower Rio Ucayali.[2][3]
Illiger's saddle-back tamarin has a head and body length of between 175 millimetres (6.9 in) and 205 millimetres (8.1 in) with a tail length between 300 millimetres (12 in) and 305 millimetres (12.0 in) long.[3] Males weigh about 292 grams (10.3 oz) and females weight about 296 grams (10.4 oz).[3]
The IUCN rates it as near threatened from a conservation standpoint.[1]
