The Marca's marmoset (Mico marcai) is a species of marmoset that is endemic to the Amazon, in the Aripuanã-Manicoré interfluvium in Brazil.[5] Its body is light grey, with orange legs, a black tail, a pinkish face, and naked ears. It is about 9 inches (23 cm) long, excluding the tail, and it has a 15-inch (38 cm) long tail. It weighs about 12 ounces (340 g).
It was previously thought to be virtually unknown; in 2008 the IUCN noted that it had never been seen in the wild,[3] though it has been observed since then.[6][7] However, later studies found the Manicore marmoset (Mico manicorensis), discovered in the Campos Amazônicos National Park in 2000, to be conspecific with M. marcai, and thus both were synonymized.[5][3]
