title: Confirmation of the taxonomic position of Callimico goeldi (Primates, Platyrrhini) on the basis of its highly repeated DNA patterns.
abstract: The systematic position of Callimico goeldi has been analyzed by comparison of its highly repeated DNA fragments with those of three species of Callithricidae and two species of Cebidae. Our data, in agreement with those obtained by other authors by means of cytogenetic and molecular biology techniques, are in favour of the classification of C. goeldi in the family Callithricidae.
