The black-mantled tamarin, Leontocebus nigricollis, is a species of saddle-back tamarin from the northwestern Amazon in far western Brazil, southeastern Colombia, north-eastern Peru and eastern Ecuador.^[4][5]

There are 3 subspecies:^[4][5]

• Spix's black mantle tamarin, Leontocebus nigricollis nigricollis
• Graells's tamarin or Graells' black-mantle tamarin, Leontocebus nigricollis graellsi
• Hernandez-Camacho's black-mantle tamarin, Leontocebus nigricollis hernandezi

Graells's tamarin was previously considered to be a separate species.^[6][7][8]
