The Buffy-tufted Marmoset (Callithrix (Callithrix) aurita), also known as the Buffy Tufted-ear Marmoset or White-eared Marmoset, is a New World monkey that lives in the forests on the Atlantic coast of southeast Brazil. Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hillaire ( April 15, 1772 - June 19, 1844) was a French naturalist who established the principle The New World monkeys are the four families of Primates that are found in Central and South America: Cebidae, Aotidae, Pitheciidae |utc_offset = -2 to -4 |time_zone_DST = BRST |utc_offset_DST = -2 to -5 |cctld Of all the marmosets, they have the southernmost range. Marmosets are New World monkeys of the genus Callithrix, which contains 18 species

Buffy-tufted Marmoset resemble Common Marmosets but are somewhat larger. Common Marmoset ( Callithrix (Callithrix jacchus) is a New World monkey. They have a grey-black skin, a touched tail and remarkable white ear-tufts which flop over more distinctly than the Common Marmoset's.

Buffy-tufted Marmoset live in the coastal forests up to a sea-level of 500 m. They are diurnal and arboreal, living almost all of their life in the trees. In Animal behavior, diurnality indicates an Animal that is active during the Daytime and rests during the Night. Arboreal is a word meaning "related to or resembling trees" These animals live together in small groups of two to eight animals.

Unlike most other marmosets, Buffy-tufted Marmoset almost exclusively eat insects. They do not eat tree sap, which is why they have a very small snout.

Little is known about the Buffy-tufted Marmoset reproductive patterns. Gestation is approximately 170 days and births are typically of twin offspring.
