For use of this name in place of Nyctvpithehis Spix (Simiar. et Vespert.

*Aotus vociferans (Spix). 



1823. NyctipitJiecus vociferans Spix, Simiar. et Vespert. Brasil., 



p. 25.

vol. 31, p. 33. March 4, 1912. 

 Type Locality. — Tabatinga, Amazonas, Brazil. 



A specimen is said to have been taken in the forest of Quindin, Costa Rica 

 (Sclater, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1872, p. 3), but this record is almost cer- 

 tainly erroneous (Elliot, Rev. Primates, vol. 2, pp. 14-15 (1912), June, 1913), 

 and the species should probably be omitted from the North American list.
