Azara’s Night Monkey – Aotus azarae

Aotus azaraeHumboldt, 1811

Accepted name, Mammal Species of the World 2005

Red-necked species group. Pieczarka and Nagamuchi (1988) proposed that infulatus may be conspecific with A. azarae; followed by Ford (1994) and Groves (2001c). Groves (1993) changed the form of the name to azarai in accordance with Art. 31 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1985d), but D. Brandon-Jones (pers. comm.) pointed out that Art. 31.1.3 recommends that the original spelling be preserved.
