Monkeys Need A Name

Do you know anything about biological nomenclature? Here's your chance for fame in the name game.
The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), in partnership with Bolivian protected area authorities, has announced a one-of-a-kind international auction for the right to name an entire species of monkey, recently discovered in an exotic South American national park.

According to WCS Conservationist Dr. Robert Wallace, who discovered the monkey, very little is known about the new monkey except that it stands about a foot tall, weighs two pounds and likes fruit. In the morning pairs of them gather and “duet,” calling back and forth while clutching each other in what resembles a human embrace.
A video clip of these rare monkeys, which might number less than a hundred, can be found at the website of the Charity Folks. The winner of this "name the monkeys" auction will have the name of their choice "permanently entered into all future references, including scientific publications, field guides, and other publications, that mention the new species."
