{{Taxobox_end}}
The '''Night monkeys''', '''Owl monkeys''', or '''Douroucoulis''' are the members of the [[genus]] '''''Aotus''''' of [[New World monkey]]s (monotypic in [[family (biology)|family]] '''Nyctipithecidae'''). They are widely distributed in the forests of [[Central America|Central]] and [[South America]], from [[Panama]] south to [[Paraguay]] and northern [[Argentina]]. The genus name means "earless"; they have ears, of course, but the external ears are tiny and hard to see. They are called Night monkeys because they are active at night and are in fact the only truly nocturnal monkeys.
