Families Tarsiidae Cebidae Aotidae Pitheciidae Atelidae Cercopithecidae Hylobatidae Hominidae The haplorrhines, the dry-nosed primates, are members of the Haplorrhini clade: the prosimian tarsiers and all of the true simians (the monkeys and the apes, including humans).
Families Cebidae Nyctipithecidae Pitheciidae Atelidae The New World monkeys or Platyrrhines are the four families of primates that are found in Central and South America, the Cebidae, Nyctipithecidae, Pitheciidae and Atelidae.
As it is most widely recognised today, Cebidae includes six genera organised into three subfamilies, though one of these genera is currently purely formal in that it contains only a single species.

  Cebidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cebidae form one of the four families of New World monkeys now recognised.
Previously, New World monkeys were divided between the Callitrichidae and this family, but modern classifications place the genera from Callitrichidae as a subfamily in Cebidae (named Callitrichinae), while moving other genera into the other families.

 Family Cebidae or New World monkeys
Cebids (Cebidae) The family Cebidae is divided into 7 subfamilies: Saimirinae, Aotinae, Callicebinae, Alouattinae, Pithecinae, Cebinae, and Atelinae.
The other family of New World monkeys, the Cebidae, is composed of a very diverse group of monkeys including capuchin (or organ grinder) monkeys, howler, spider, woolly and woolly spider monkeys, bald-headed uakari monkeys,(Full text)
The Cebidae is an agglomeration of eleven genera: the squirrel monkey (Saimiri spp.

The name is used both for the Old World monkeys (family Cercopithecidae) and New World monkeys (families Cebidae, Nyctipithecidae, Pitheciidae and Atelidae).
However the Old World monkeys are part of a larger group, the catarrhines, which also includes the apes.
To understand the monkeys, therefore, it is necessary to study the characteristics of the different groups individually.

 Problems and Proposed Solutions in Platyrrhine Phylogeny
Such knowledge on the temporal order of ancestral branchings separating these ceboid genera from one another is needed not only to solve problems of higher-level ceboid systematics but also to be able to place the problems of lower-level ceboid systematics in their broader phylogenetic context.
Cebidae contains all the ceboids except the small-bodied clawed marmosets and tamarins, which are placed in Callitrichidae.
We plan to gather extensive additional DNA sequence data in order to test the congruent branching arrangements of the epsilon and IRBP maximum parsimony trees, especially those arrangements that are controversial when compared to the cladistic evidence from previous morphological studies (11-14).

The family Cebidae contains 11 genera 58 species (following most recent authors, we exclude the marmosets and tamarins and place them in their own family, the Callitrichidae).
Cebids are a strictly American group, currently found from southern Mexico south to northern Argentina.
Most are vocal to some extent, and many are gregarious, with the social unit usually a family group.

The Cebidae belong to the superfamily Ceboidea, suborder Anthropoidea.
Marmosets are the smallest of all monkeys and are more primitive than the Cebidae.
Their fingers end in claws instead of nails; their scent-marking behavior is like that of the LEMUR, as is the lack of a strong bond between the female and her young.

Social group size varies from that of the squirrel monkey, which lives in troops of up to 500 individuals, to that of the owl monkey, which lives in small nuclear family groups.
Many of the Cebidae and Atelidae have strong prehensile tails that are largely hairless on the underside and have sensitive tactile pads.
The Cebidae and Atelidae are generally very enterprising when it comes to obtaining food.

Mites collected from the auditory canal of Cebus apella (capuchin monkey), family Cebidae, were identified as Fonsecalges johnjadini (Psoroptidae, Cebalginae).
This group of Cebidae is arboricolous and can live in any kind of neotropical rainforest (Freese & Oppenheimer 1981).
In this study, the mites were collected from both right and left auricula and many mites were removed from the earwax characterizing these sites, indicating that they were a favorite habitat for these mites in this species of primate.

ABSTRACT:Ten male Saimiri sciureus boliviensis (Cebidae) born at the Centro Argentino de Primates (CAPRIM) were divided into a control group (five animals fed ad libitum on a 20% protein diet) and an undernourished group (five animals fed ad libitum on a 5% protein diet) at weaning (seven months old).
Each animal was radiographed monthly from both later-lateral and dorsal-ventral views, from the first to the third year of age.

Though these works agree on the monophyly of each of the Atelidae, Pitheciidae, and Cebidae (Cebinae + Aotinae + Callitrichinae), they disagree on the relative relationships among the families.
Epsilon-globin and beta-2-microglobulin (both autosomal) infer a sister-relationship between the Atelidae and Pitheciidae; IRBP (autosomal) supports a clade of Pitheciidae and Cebidae; G6PD (X-chromosomal) groups the Atelidae with the Cebidae.
Such disagreement among molecular datasets is consistent with the hypothesis that an evolutionarily short internode separates the two divergence events giving rise to the progenitors of the platyrrhine families; the conflicting nuclear topologies would then be the result of differential lineage sorting at various genetic loci.
