To be even more pedantic apes are old world monkeys.

Wikipedia would disagree with you on that point : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_World_monkey
Although I believe they are more closely related to the apes than they are to new-world monkeys.

I am willing to split the difference with you
Old world monkeys and apes form their own clade and calling the whole place Old World Monkeys is not uncommon either is your usage. Although going by noses alone I am right.
