  Strepsirrhini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However the prosimian tarsiers have been shown to be more closely related to the simians, and so it has been moved into the Anthropoidea, which is now renamed as Haplorrhini and Prosimii renamed as Strepsirrhini.
However, significant evidence suggests that Cheirogaleidae is not related to the lorises, and that Indridae is sister-group to Lemuridae
If the Aye-aye represents a form that is ancestral to all the rest of Strepsirrhini, then it evolved away from the strepsirrhine line between 63 million years ago (when the strepsirrhines split from the primitive primate line) and 50 mya (the lemur/loris split).

 Thesis abstract
To the basis of the cluster of the Lemuriformes the Cheirogaleidae are found.
For the Cheirogaleidae and in the Eulemurs the rates are appreciably identical.
In the case of the Cheirogaleidae, if the value of the alpha parameter is raised relatively when it is calculated from the sequences of the representatives of the group, the rate of evolution for the branch leading to this group is the lowest of all those found.

The family of dwarf lemurs includes the smallest living primate, the pygmy mouse lemur, which only weighs about an ounce (30.6 grams).
Because they are found on the island of Madagascar, Cheirogaleidae species have been placed in the Lemuroidea superfamily but many feel that they are more similar to the lemurs of Africa (superfamily Loroidea).
The Cheirogaleidae family is divided into two subfamilies,

 Microcebus rufus
It is likely that fruit is the primary food source, rather than insects as small body size would predict.
These two species are both nocturnal small-bodied Cheirogaleidae, both with high fruit, insect diets, both competing for Bakerella spp.
Microcebus rufus is widely distributed over the primary and secondary forests near the eastern coast of Madagascar.
