Tim, according to ISIS, only in the year since you wrote this, Belfast has obtained 1.2 Red-backs and Colchester, close to your home, got 1.1. Is that correct or yet another ISIS error?
I'll assume that Mulhouse's Hick's Saki is dead now as it is no longer listed on ISIS (it was already old when I was it in 2006)

I think this specimen was the only member of the genus Chripotes in Europe when I wrote this.
However, there are now specimens of Chirpotes chiropotes in Belfast and Colchester; indeed I have posted some photos of the Colchester animals in the gallery.

Not sure about the past few months, but I saw Mulhouse's Hick's Saki alive and well in early July of this summer. And it wasn't listed on Isis back then either.

I can also confirm seeing the saki in Mullhouse in July 2010 (even thougn it took me a lot of times passing by the exhibit and I nearly had to give up).
Have Mulhouse also got 0.1 Chiropotes chiropotes, because that is now showing up on ISIS? Or has the Uta Hick's been reassigned? Or is it just an ISIS blip?

I think that's an error - Chiropotes utahickae was split from Chiropotes chiropotes relatively recently so I suspect someone's records (either at ISIS or Mulhouse) just haven't caught up.
I would say that record refers to the C. utahickae.
That’s very sad; I somehow doubt that we’ll ever see another Chiropotes utahickae in a European zoo again.
Incidentally, on one of my visits to the Jardin des Plantes Menagerie (Paris) in the 1980s there were some unlabelled Chiropotes saki monkeys; I think that one of these was the very same animal that I saw in Mulhouse years later.

This is correct - JdPM recieved 1,2 Uta Hick's Saki in 1985 or thereabouts. One of the individuals died in 1986, and the remaining 1,1 were sent to Mulhouse in 1989. Unfortunately, the male only lived for a few more years, dying in 1992 so any chance for the species to breed and build captive numbers up were cut short.
