 Comparative RB1 gene mapping in Homo sapiens, Pithecia pithecia, Macaca sylvana, and Cercopithecus aethiops tantalus.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Comparative RB1 gene mapping in Homo sapiens, Pithecia pithecia, Macaca sylvana, and Cercopithecus aethiops tantalus.The results allowed us to determine the position of the bands homologous to human chromosome band 13q14 in these species.
By comparing RB1 localizations and banding patterns, it is shown that the rearrangement separating HSA 13 from its homologous chromosome in Cercopithecidae is not a pericentric inversion, as suggested by earlier studies.
The chromosomal localization of the gene for retinoblastoma (RB1), which has been mapped to band 13q14 in man, was studied by in situ hybridization on metaphase chromosomes of selected primates, including Pithecia pithecia, Macaca sylvana, and Cercopithecus aethiops tantalus.

 saki --  Encyclopædia Britannica
The “true” sakis of the genus Pithecia are approximately 30–50 cm (12–20 inches) long, not including the bushy, tapering tail of 25–55 cm.
One of the wittiest and most inventive satirists writing in England early in the 20th century was a journalist named Hector Hugh Munro.
The sakis (genus Pithecia) are fairly common in the middle levels and underbrush of forests of the Amazon Basin and the Guianas.

 IngentaConnect Biological Basis of Saki Pithecia Folk Species Recognized by the ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Matses Indians of northeastern Perú recognize two linguistically labeled folk species of saki monkeys (Cebidae: Pithecia) that are said to be morphologically distinguishable, to prefer different habitats, and to be noninterbreeding.
Because the systematic literature recognizes only one biological taxon of Pithecia in the area inhabited by the Matses, their folk taxonomy suggests either the presence of a previously undescribed species or a hitherto undocumented range extension.
All known species of Pithecia are currently thought to be allopatric, so both possibilities are of interest.
