The Black Squirrel Monkey (Saimiri vanzolinii), or Blackish Squirrel Monkey, is a small New World primate, endemic to Brazil.
This squirrel monkey has one of the most restricted geographical distributions for a primate, living in the Amazonian seasonally flooded "varzea" forests in the confluence of the Japura and Solimoes rivers.
