Callithrix jacchus (Linnaeus)
Synonymy.—Simia jacchus.
Natural prey.—Blattella germanica, France (Brumpt and Urbain, 1938): See comment under Lemur coronatus.
Cockroaches, on board ship (Neill, 1829; also cited by Samouelle, 1841, and Cowan, 1865): "It was quite amusing to see it at its meal. When he had got hold of one of the largest cockroaches, he held it in his fore paws, and then invariably nipped the head off first; he then pulled out the viscera and cast them aside, and devoured the rest of the body, rejecting the dry elytra and wings, and also the legs of the insect, which are covered with short stiff bristles. The smaller cockroaches he eat without such fastidious nicety."
