For myself and the rest of the B3ta pedantry club: monkeys are the ones with tails; chimps, gorillas, orang utans etc. are apes.
That is all.

I probably should have just suggested "primates".

Nah, it's going to be a good challenge, but there's going to be more tea-drinking chimps than you can shake a stick at!

More pedantry alert....!
If you wanted just monkeys and apes, the word is "simians".
"Primates" includes lemurs, bushbabies and tarsiers.
