Neomonachus is a genus of earless seals, within the family Phocidae.It contains two species: the endangered Hawaiian monk seal, and the extinct Caribbean monk seal.Prior to 2014, all three species of monk seals were placed in the genus Monachus, but that was found to be paraphyletic.
All three monk seal species were classified in genus Monachus until 2014, when the Caribbean and Hawaiian species were placed into a new genus, Neomonachus.
