Vanzolini's bald faced saki

Vanzolini's bald-faced saki (Pithecia vanzolinii) is a species of saki monkey, a type of New World monkey. Its range is in western Brazil. The monkey is named after Brazilian zoologist Paulo Vanzolini. This species was originally described by Hershkovitz as the subspecies Pithecia irrorata vanzolinii but it was raised to full species status in 2014. For many years, there had been no record of the species in nature. After 61 years, in 2017, one individual was collected after being hunted for bush meat in an extractive community in the state of Acre, Brazil.
