  • Kipunji, or highland mangabey, (Rungwecebus kipunji), discovered in Tanzania in 2005. Originally grouped within the genus Lophocebus, the distinctive monkey with mohawk-style hair was declared as a member of a new genus in 2006.[7]
  • The GoldenPalace.com monkey (Callicebus aureipalatii), a type of titi from Bolivia, was so named following a charity auction held in 2005 to name the species. The auction was won by online casino Goldenpalace.com, which bid $650,000 to name the monkey (aureipalatii is Latin for 'of the Golden Palace'). The money went towards maintaining the monkeys' home, the Madidi National Park.[9]
