Uta Hick's bearded saki (Chiropotes utahicki) is an

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

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]

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.
