Tamarin is a city located in Mauritius. It serves as a geographical location within the island nation.
While the name "tamarin" also refers to squirrel-sized New World monkeys from the family Callitrichidae, these primates are distinct biological entities. They represent the first offshoot in the Callitrichidae tree and are considered the sister group of a clade that includes lion tamarins, Goeldi's monkeys, and marmosets.
