In regards to how animals are classified:

Are there any instances in zoological study where when a new creature was discovered, were the family names of two organisms created to be given to the new creature? For example:

Cebidatelidae - a combination of 2 familys of new world moneys to be given to a new family of monkey.

If this is true please cite example, and if not true, please explain why? Thank you very much for your time
