New World monkeys are the five families of primates that are found in the tropical regions of Mexico, Central and South America: Callitrichidae, Cebidae, Aotidae, Pitheciidae, and Atelidae. The five families are ranked together as the Ceboidea (/ səˈbɔɪdi.ə /), the only extant superfamily in the parvorder Platyrrhini (/ plætɪˈraɪnaɪ /). [3]
- Aotidae. The owl monkeys, sometimes called douroucoulis, consist of a single genus, Aotus, containing 13 taxa (Table 1). They are distributed from Panama to northern Argentina.
- Atelidae. The atelids are the largest NWMs (5 - 15 kg) and consist of two subfamilies, Alouattinae and Atelinae (Table 1). All five genera have a long, prehensile tails.
- Callitrichidae. The marmosets and tamarins are the smallest of the NWMs (100 - 700 g). The family consists of 7 genera and 62 taxa (Table 1), which range from Panama to southern Brazil.
- Cebidae. The family Cebidae consists of two subfamilies, Cebinae (capuchin monkeys) and Saimiriinae (squirrel monkeys), ranging from Central America to Argentina.
Nov 25, 2015 · The new genus-level proposals in platyrrhine taxonomy increased the number of generic names from the 16 traditionally recognized genera (Rosenberger 2012) to 22 genus-group taxa (21 genera plus a new subgenus). Three of the six nomenclatural changes proposed at the genus level refer to callitrichines (marmosets and tamarins).

Neotropical primates, or New World monkeys, are a diverse clade of monkeys in the parvorder Platyrrhini, consisting of five families: the Callitrichidae (marmosets and tamarins), the Cebidae (capuchins and squirrel monkeys), the Aotidae (owl monkeys), the Pitheciidae (sakis, titis, and uakaris), and the Atelidae (howlers, muriquis, spider ...
