Miller's saki (Pithecia milleri), also known as Miller's monk saki,[1] is a species of saki monkey, a type of New World monkey. Its range includes parts of southwestern Colombia, northeastern Ecuador, and perhaps adjacent areas in Peru.[2] This species was originally described as a species by J. A. Allen, demoted to a subspecies of the monk saki (P. monachus) in 1987,[3][4] and raised back to full species status in 2014.[2]
