The gold-and-white marmoset is a small primate named for its golden-white coat and ear tufts. Groups have been recorded in flooded forests in southern Amazonia, Brazil.
The 2018 paper calls it the golden-white tassel-ear marmoset, describing its white-and-gold coat and ear tufts in its common name.
Groups have been recorded in white-water várzea forest along the Amazon and black-water igapó forest by the Acarí River. Other surveys found the species in secondary forest.
