Discussion:
Retained as a full family by
McKenna and Bell (1997)
and
Rylands et al. (2000)
. Goodman et al. (1998) divided the subfamily into subtribes Saguinina, Leontopithecina, Callimiconina and Callitrichina.
Groves (2001
c
:126-7)
argued that the correct name for the family/subfamily is
Hapalidae
/Hapalinae, but this was discussed by
Brandon-Jones and Groves (2002)
, who found that the argument was insecure and re-established
Callitrichidae
.
