Taxonomic remark The nomenclatural status of "Aotus" is confused in the original publications and in subsequent literature. Humboldt, 1812 (dated 1811 on the cover and frequently cited thus) used "Aotes", apparently a French plural version of the name, on p. 306 of his "Recueil d'observations de zoologie et d'anatomie comparée...", and "Aotus" on p. 358, crediting the name to Illiger; Illiger in turn (1811) credits the name to Humboldt, presumably in anticipation of the later work. An earlier edition of Humboldt's account had appeared in 1809 (dated 1805 on the cover) but the name does not appear there. In subsequent literature, Nomenclator Zoologicus treats Humboldt's "Aotes" (with year given as 1811) as the validly published instance, with "Aotus" an orthographic variant; McKenna & Bell, 1997, give the correct name as Aotus Humboldt, 1811; and Wilson & Reeder, 2005 give the name as Aotus Illiger, 1811, which appears to be correct, in which case Aotus Humboldt, 1812 ("1811") becomes a later usage, and Aotes Humboldt, 1812 ("1811") a non-name (French plural vernacular name), both the latter treated as unaccepted in IRMNG. [details]
