“…Coimbra-Filho (1990) ranked it as a subspecies based on the discovery of individuals intermediate in coat color between Leontopithecus caissara and L. chrysopygus (Rylands et al 1993). Burity et al (1999) thought cranial and mandibular measurements suggest specific status for Leontopithecus caissara, but they admitted that the results are provisional owing to small sample sizes.…”

“…Researchers assigned specific status to 3 of them -Leontopithecus chrysomelas, L. chysopygus, and L. rosalia-based on morphometric cranial, mandibular, and dental characters (Burity et al 1999;Della Serra 1951;Natori 1989;Natori and Hanihara 1989;Rosenberger and Coimbra-Filho 1984). Forman et al (1986) questioned the species status of these 3 more common species because of low levels of allozyme differentiation.…”

“…In contrast, researchers grouped Leontopithecus chrysopygus and L. chrysomelas together apart from L. rosalia (Fig. 2b) in some studies based on shared morphological characteristics such as skull dimensions, neurocranial and facial components, and the size of the ascending mandibular ramus (Burity et al 1999;Rosenberger and Coimbra-Filho 1984). Hershkovitz (1977) proposed that Leontopithecus chrysopygus is most like the ancestral lion tamarin based on his theory of metachromism (1968) that states pelage pattern evolves in a linear, orthogenetic manner from dark (saturated) to light (bleached) forms.…”

Leontopithecus comprises 4 taxa: black lion tamarins (L. chrysopygus), golden lion tamarins (L. rosalia), black-faced lion tamarins (L. caissara), and golden-headed lion tamarins (L. chrysomelas). Endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, they are endangered (Appendix I, CITES; IUCN Critically Endangered: Leontopithecus chrysopygus, L. caissara; IUCN Endangered: L. rosalia, L. chrysomelas). The 4 taxa are differentiated morphologically and geographically and occupy different habitat types. However, it is not clear if all of them are separate species, particularly Leontopithecus caissara, or how they are related to one another evolutionarily. Therefore, we investigated lion tamarin differentiation and radiation. We sequenced the mtDNA control region and performed phylogenetic analyses, population aggregation analyses, and Mantel tests for geographic/genetic correlation. Mitochondrial genetic data suggest 3 distinct lion tamarin clades (Leontopithecus chrysomelas; L. caissara; and L. chrysopygus/L. rosalia). Phylogenetic analysis also supports: 1) the basal lion tamarin is Leontopithecus chrysomelas, and not L. chrysopygus, 2) L. caissara is not subspecific to L. chrysopygus, and 3) Quaternary forest refugia may have shaped lion tamarin diversification via a pattern that does not follow the theory of metachromism. Even though mitochondrial genetic analyses do not unequivocally support the 4 lion tamarins as separate species, one should consider the 4 lion tamarins, with equal conservation priority based on the combination of morphological, genetic, and habitat differentiation. Each of them is an extremely valuable flagship species that focuses attention on the diminishing, highly endemic Atlantic Forest of Brazil.

Phylogeny of lion tamarins (Leontopithecusspp) based on interphotoreceptor retinol binding protein intron sequences

The evolutionary relationships of the lion tamarins (Leontopithecus) were investigated using nuclear interphotoreceptor retinol binding protein (IRBP) intron sequences. Phylogenetic reconstructions strongly support the monophyly of the genus, and a sister relationship between the golden lion tamarin, Leontopithecus rosalia, and the black lion tamarin, L. chrysopygus, to the exclusion of the golden-headed lion tamarin, L. chrysomelas. The most parsimonious evolutionary reconstruction suggests that the ancestral lion tamarin and the common ancestor of L. rosalia and L. chrysopygus had predominantly black coats. This reconstruction is not consistent with a theory of orthogenetic evolution of coat color that was based on coat color evolution in marmosets and tamarins. An alternative reconstruction that is consistent with metachromism requires that ancestral lion tamarins had agouti hairs.
