Species Callithrix (Cebuella) pygmaea Spix 1823

Subspecies Callithrix (Cebuella) pygmaea subsp. pygmaea Spix 1823

Subspecies Callithrix (Cebuella) pygmaea subsp. niveiventris Lönnberg 1940

Species Callithrix (Mico) saterei Silva and Noronha 1998

Discussion: Includes Mico (see Cabrera, 1958:185), Cebuella (see Groves, 1989:110-115), and Callithrix as subgenera, which Rylands et al. (2000) regarded as full genera. McKenna and Bell (1997) recognized Cebuella as a separate genus, but it forms a clade with Mico (Groves, 2001 c). The fourth subgenus, Calibella, was described by van Roosmalen and van Roosmalen (2003) as a full genus.
