  ChimpanZoo Web Site: Pitheciinae Subfamily   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Pitheciinae subfamily is made up of sakis and uacaris.
Sakis are divided into sakis and bearded sakis and, as the name implies, bearded sakis can be distinguished by the thick growth of hair on their chin.
Black-headed uacaris are similar in shape and size to bald uacaris, but they have hair on the top of their head and their faces are fl.

 Problems and Proposed Solutions in Platyrrhine Phylogeny
We plan to gather extensive additional DNA sequence data in order to test the congruent branching arrangements of the epsilon and IRBP maximum parsimony trees, especially those arrangements that are controversial when compared to the cladistic evidence from previous morphological studies (11-14).
To pursue these aims, it will be important to enlarge the DNA sequence data from additional ceboid species and outgroup species (from a broader range of non-ceboid primates) and from noncoding regions (introns) of additional unlinked nuclear genes.

There are two species, both feeding primarily on fruit and insects.
The uakaris, Cacajao, and the sakis, Pithecia and Chiropotes, are representatives of the subfamily Pitheciinae.
They are found from the Guianas down to the Amazon basin.

Callicebus and Pitheciinae resemble each other in the possession of slender, long lower incisors, which can be considered as a symplesiomorphy.
However, statistically the difference from other taxa is blurred, and furthermore comes into conflict with other morphological findings.

 Zoo Husbandry and Research
Although white-faced sakis are well represented in zoos, they remain one of the least understood of the South American primates, primarily because so few studies have examined them (Vecchio and Miller, 1993).
Because of their accessibility to us (we have one of the largest collections of white-faced sakis in the U.S.), and the advantage of using them as a research model to better understand endangered members of the subfamily Pitheciinae (Chiropotes and Cacajao), we began the first long-term studies on the reproductive biology of this species.
The objectives of this research is to document the reproductive cycle in captive white-faced sakis by means of urinary and fecal steroid metabolite measurements; to examine the parental care patterns and development of infants; to describe species typical behavior; and to determine the mating system of these animals in captivity (Savage et al., in press).

There are two species of uakari, including the red uakari (Cacajao calvus, also called the bald or white uakari) and the fl uakari (Cacajao melanocephalus, also called the fl-headed uakari).
