The White-nosed Saki, Chiropotes albinasus, is an endangered species of bearded saki, a type of New World monkey, endemic to the south-central Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Both its scientific and common name were caused by the authors working from specimens, where the skin on and around the nose fades to whitish.[3] In living individuals, it is actually bright pink (though with fine barely visible white hairs), and the pelage is black.[4] No other species of the genus Chiropotes have a brightly colored nose.[3]
