Primata By: Brandy

General Information  There are 2 suborders, 13 families, 52 genera, and approximately 200 species.  The two suborders are Prosimii (prosimians) and Anthropoidea (Apes and Monkeys).  Some scientists prefer the name Strepsirhini (wet nose) instead of Prosimians; and Haplorhini (dry nose) instead of Anthropoidea.

SuborderInfraorderSuperfamilyFamilySubfamilyCommon Names Prosimii 2 (prosimians) Lemuriformes Lemuroidea Lemuridae (true lemurs) ring-tailed, and ruffed lemurs Lepilemuridae sportive lemurs Cheirogaleidae (dwarf lemurs) dwarf and mouse lemurs Indriidae indris, avahis, and sifakas Daubentoniidae aye-ayes Lorisoidea Loridae lorises, pottos, and angwantibos Galagonidae galagos (or bush babies) Tarsiformes 3 Tarsiidae tarsiers Anthropoidea (anthropoids) Platyrrhini (New World monkeys) Ceboidea CallitricidaeCalitricinae marmosets and tamarins Cebidae 4 Cebinae squirrel and capuchin monkeys Aotinae night and titi monkeys Atelinae howler and spider monkeys Pithecinaeuakaris and sakis Catarrhini (Old World monkeys, apes and humans) Cercopithecoidea (Old World monkeys) Cercopithecidae Cercopithecinae guenons, vervets, baboons, macaques, etc. Colobinae colobuses, langurs, and proboscis monkeys Hominoidea (apes and humans) Hylobatidae gibbons and siamangs Hominidae 5 (hominids) Ponginaeorangutans Gorillinaegorillas Homininae chimpanzees and bonobos humans

Prosimii  They are called lower primates because they are less human like.  The name Prosimii means “before the monkeys”.  There are approximately 35 species in 18 genera and 8 families.  They live in the forests of Africa, Asia, and Madagascar.

Anthropoidea  They are called higher primates because they are more human like.  There are approximatley146 species in 34 genera and 5 families.  They mostly live in forests, but there are some terrestrial species that live in the savanna.  They are separated into two infra-orders the old and new world monkeys.
