Aotus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aotus is both a plant and an animal:
- It is one of the genera for the golden peas in Fabaceae (bean family).
- It is the genus for the night monkeys in Aotidae.
The name means "earless" in both cases: the monkey is missing external ears, and the pea is missing earlike bracteoles.
