Taxonomy notes

split from S. imperator; recently moved from Tamarinus to Leontocebus, however, some recent publications have suggested retaining all species traditionally contained in Saguinus under distinct subgenera (Saguinus, Leontocebus, Tamarinus, and Oedipomidas) rather than genera, which is tentatively followed here pending further discussion
