The Cebidae form one of the two familes of New World monkeys now recognised. It includes the marmosets, tamarins, capuchins and squirrel monkeys.

Classification

Previously, New World monkeys were divided between the Callitrichidae and this family, but modern classifications place the genera from Callitrichidae as a subfamily in Cebidae, while moving other genera into the Atelidae family. As it is most widely recognised today, Cebidae includes 11 genera organised into 2 subfamilies, though two of these genera are currently purely formal in that they contain only a single species.
