Superagui lion tamarin
The black-faced lion tamarin or Superagüi lion tamarin (''Leontopithecus caissara'') is a small New World monkey of the family Callitrichidae. It is critically endangered and endemic to coastal forests in southeastern Brazil. There are several conservation projects and the total populations is unlikely to exceed 400 individuals.〔 It is overall golden-orange with contrasting black head, legs and tail.〔
==Discovery and distribution==
The black-faced lion tamarin was not recognized until 1990 when two Brazilian researchers, Maria Lorini and Vanessa Persson, described it based on individuals from the island of Superagüi in the Brazilian state of Paraná.〔Russell A. Mittermeier et al. Primates in Peril: The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates, 2004–2006 ()"Primate Conservation" 2006〕 Shortly after additional populations were discovered on the adjacent mainland in Paraná and in the far southern São Paulo.〔Kleiman, Devra G. and Jeremy J.C. Mallinson. (Feb. 1998). Recovery and Management Committees for Lion Tamarins: Partnerships in Conservation Planning and Implementation. ''Society for Conservation Biology''.〕 The specific name ''caissara'' is a reference to the caicaras, the local people of Superagui Island.
Mainland populations prefer swampy and inundated secondary forest for habitat. The island population use mainly tall lowland forest and arboreal restinga (coastal forest on sandy soils) as primary habitat. Both populations strictly remain at altitudes below .〔Nascimento, Alexandre; T. Amaral; and Lucia A.J. Schmidlin. (March 2011). Habitat selection by, and carrying capacity for, the Critically Endangered black-faced lion tamarin "Leontopithecus caissara" (Primates: Callitrichidae) ''Oryx'' 45(2):288-295.〕
