Brown-backed Bearded Saki (Chiropotes israelita)

It is possible the correct scientific name for this species is C. chiropotes, in which case the more easternly Red-backed Bearded Saki would be named C. sagulatus.

The black bearded saki is the only dark-nosed species of bearded saki with a blackish back, though some females and young have a paler, brownish back.

Uta Hick's bearded saki, Chiropotes utahicki, is an endangered species of bearded saki, a type of New World monkey.

It formerly included the red-backed, brown-backed and Uta Hick's bearded saki as subspecies or taxonomical insignificant variations (in which case the 'combined' species simply was called the bearded saki), but based on colour of pelage, karyotype, and molecular analysis it has been recommended treating these as separate species.

No other species of the genus Chiropotes have a brightly colored nose.

They are closely related to the bearded sakis of genus Chiropotes.

The bearded sakis are five species of New World monkeys, classified in the genus Chiropotes.

Brown-backed Bearded Saki (Chiropotes israelita)

The Red-backed bearded saki, Chiropotes chiropotes, is a species of bearded saki, a type of New World monkey, from South America.

However, regardless of the uncertainties over exactly what population the specific name chiropotes belongs to, it is clear that there are two distinct populations of bearded sakis north of the Amazon River: A reddish-backed from the Branco River and eastward, and a brown-backed from the Branco River and westward.
