Miller's saki (Pithecia milleri), also known as Miller's monk saki,[1] is a species of saki monkey, a type of New World monkey. Its range includes parts of southwestern Colombia, northeastern Ecuador, and perhaps adjacent areas in Peru.[2] This species was originally described as a species by J. A. Allen, demoted to a subspecies of the monk saki (P. monachus) in 1987,[3][4] and raised back to full species status in 2014.[2] Confusion over the taxonomy of saki monkeys has arisen in part due to poorly labeled or mislabeled museum specimens.[2] Males and females of this species, like those of other sakis, have differently colored pelage, with the females being more grayish in the face and overall, and the males a darker, grizzled black but with brown in the face and forearms.[2]
