From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aotus may refer to:

• Aotus (pea), one of the plant genera commonly known as golden peas in the family Fabaceae (bean family).
• Aotus (monkey), the genus of night monkeys in the family Aotidae.

The name is derived from the Ancient Greek words for "earless" in both cases: the monkey is missing external ears, and the pea is missing earlike bracteoles.
