| Geoffroy's Tamarin (Saguinus geoffroyi), also known as the Panamanian or Rufous-naped Tamarin or locally in Panama: Mono Titi, is a black and white tamarin with a reddish nape. It is found from Costa Rica to Colombia. Some authors have treated it as a subspecies of the Cottontop Tamarin (Saguinus oedipus) but the most recent research suggests that the two groups differ sufficiently to be considered separate species.
Like all callitrichines it is arboreal; it tends to live in areas of secondary growth or mixed forest. As a species it may become endangered, chiefly because of habitat loss, but it is abundant in a few localities particularly in Panama.
