Abstract: We conducted a 5-month survey on primates, with special attention
to Goeldi's monkey (Callimico goeldii), in the rain forest of northwestern
Bolivia. Goeldi's monkey is one of the least documented of all South American primates,
and very little is known about its distribution. We report observations on distribution,
abundance, and habitat of Callimico goeldii and other primates, incidental
sightings of other mammals, and preliminary behavioral observations on Callimico
and on two associated callitrichid monkey species: Saguinus fuscicollis
and S. labiatus. We found a locality that appears to be particularly suitable
for detailed observations on Callimico on the north bank of the lower Río
Tahuamanu.
