Descriptive notes. Head-body ¢.20 cm, tail ¢.37 cm; weight ¢.430 g. Sateré Marmoset is a most unusual-looking marmoset. It lacks ear tufts despite being surrounded by marmosets that have them (Santarém Marmoset, M. humeralifer , Golden-white Tassel-ear Marmoset, M. chrysoleucos , and Maués Marmoset, M. mauesi ). Sateré Marmoset is dark reddish-brown on the back, tail, hands, and feet, with a strongly contrasting, bright whitish-yellow or golden-orange mantle and underparts. The nape is silvery, and there is a well-marked blackish-gray crown patch. The face and ears are naked, being an unpigmented pink. Genitalia are bright orange, unique among the callitrichids. Individuals of both sexes have unusual lateral pendular skin appendages. In the male, this is a narrowing of the inferior part of the scrotal lobes. In the females, they are in the inguinal region, anterior to the vaginal gap. Adult genital skin in both sexes has nodular structures that are glandular.
Habitat. Primary and secondary terra firma and igapo (seasonally inundated forest).
