    The emperor tamarin,[2][3] (Saguinus imperator), is a species of tamarin allegedly named for its resemblance to the German emperor Wilhelm II.[4] It lives in the southwest Amazon Basin, in east Peru, north Bolivia and in the west Brazilian states of Acre and Amazonas.

    There are two subspecies of the emperor tamarin:

    Black-chinned emperor tamarin, Saguinus imperator imperator
    Bearded emperor tamarin, Saguinus imperator subgrisescens

    I recommend you visit Wiki to see the pix of both adorable subspecies.
