The Uta Hick's bearded saki (Chiropotes utahicki), is a new species of bearded saki. It is endemic to Brazil, where restricted to the Amazon between the Xingu and Tocantins Rivers. It was formerly treated as a subspecies of the more easternly Black bearded saki (Chiropotes satanas), but its back is pale brownish. The specific name is often modified to utahickae, but this has been discouraged.
