Hi rinkulink,
The following is the result of my research for Pygmy Marmosets and
where they can be found.
"Weighing in at just four ounces, Pygmy Marmosets are the smallest
monkeys in the world, easily fitting in the palm of your hand. These
charismatic, inquisitive creatures are native to the rainforests of
western Brazil, southeastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, and eastern
Peru. Spending most of their lives in the forest canopy, pygmies are
omnivorous, feeding on a variety of fruits, vegetation, insects and
even small reptiles."

Distribution and Habitat:
"These marmosets are found in the Upper Amazon basin east of the Andes
in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Northern Bolivia and Brazil. They have a
patchy distribution in mature and secondary lowland rain forest,
especially seasonally flooded forests, river margins, flood plains,
and stream sides. They are rarely seen in the trees above 60 feet (18
m) or on the ground."
