| Abstract: | The purpose of this application, under Article 50.1 of the Code, is to validate the common but incorrect attribution of the name Ateles geoffroyi to Kuhl (1820). This is a longstanding error perpetuated in the primate literature and it is proposed that the attribution of the name to Kuhl (1820) be validated. |
