This species has what seems to be an unusually large number of common names. But what I'm getting at is that the name "red-tailed monkey" seems to be one of the vaguest of the set. I would like to change the name. But I am a novice to the subject, so I have no idea which might be the best choice. The main criterion is probably current "popularity" or prevalence -- which common name is used most frequently -- in either the academic literature or among the lay public? Lesser criteria would be the distinctiveness of the name and the existence of subspecies.

The San Diego Zoo has several individuals of subspecies schmidti, and it calls them "Schmidt's spot-nosed guenon". Hurmata (talk) 04:19, 22 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

The American Society of Mammalogists maintains a Mammals of the World list that you could consult. DrBuchholz (talk) 16:51, 7 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

The IUCN redlist is not properly cited. That website provides a recommended citation for you to use with the last year of assessment of the species status. DrBuchholz (talk) 16:59, 7 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

A quick look at One Search on the Ole Miss library website shows quite a few journal articles that you could use to update this further. DrBuchholz (talk) 17:01, 7 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
