Bearded Saki - Classification

Classification

Until recently, only two species were recognized in this genus, but C. israelita was re-validated in 2003 (having long been considered a synonym of chiropotes), where it – based on differences in colour of pelage, karyotype, and molecular analysis – also was recommended treating C. chiropotes and C. utahickae as species separate from C. satanas.
