(1998) reduced the subfamily to a tribe of Cebinae . Groves (2001 c ) pointed out that the name is antedated by Chrysotrichinae Cabrera, 1900, and Brandon-Jones and Groves (2002) agreed, but considered that it would be preferable not to upset "prevailing usage" (Art. 40.2.1; International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, 1999 ).
