Uta Hick's bearded saki (Chiropotes utahicki) is an endangered species of bearded saki, a type of New World monkey. It is endemic to Brazil, where restricted to the Amazon between the Xingu and Tocantins Rivers.[1] It was formerly treated as a subspecies of the more easterly C. satanas, but its back is pale brownish.[3][4]
Etymology
It was named in honor of Uta Hick, a German primatologist who cared for bearded sakis at the Cologne Zoo.[5][6] In the 1980s, she was the first person who could successfully keep captive bearded sakis.[7] Her married name is Uta Rümpler.[8]
The specific name utahicki is often corrected to utahickae,[1] as -ae is the appropriate suffix for the genitive of a woman honoree's name (meaning "Uta Hick's") according to ICZN rules.[8][9] Even though -i technically indicates a male honoree, some sources discourage modifying the earlier utahicki,[10] because there is no official way to make such corrections under the current (1999) ICZN.[11]

"Chiropotes utahickae". Integrated Taxonomic Information System. 2022. "originally given as utahicki, which SHOULD have been utahickae, but this does not appear to be a correctable error under the ICZN Art. 32.2 and 32.5. Use of -i instead of -ae appears to be an incorrect Latinization, which is not to be considered an inadvertent error (Art. 32.5.1), so the error is not one that 'must' be corrected, and it must be considered the 'correct original spelling.' In a discussion on the ICZN-List (March 2021) it was generally agreed that there is a problem for cases where a name was incorrectly formed/Latinized under Art. 31.1.2 (incorrect use of ending -i/-orum/-ae/-arum, according to the number & sex of honorees) of the 4th edition (1999) of the Code, in that the Article doesn't contain a corrective option, and the wording of Article 32 does not include this type of correction. This 'glitch' will be addressed in the next edition of the Code, but until this is resolved, ITIS will make note of these cases and try to follow current usage, where possible."
