In the Strepsirhini the nostrils are crescentic or comma-shaped, the rhinarium surrounding the nostrils is moist and glandular, and there is a median cleft down the middle of the rhinarium.
In the Haplorhini the nostrils are ovate or elliptical, the rhinarium is not moist or glandular, and there is no median cleft (Hershkovitz 1977).
Schwartz (1986) argued that Tarsius belongs in the Strepsirhini and thus that Simpson's classification of the Primates into the two suborders Prosimii and Anthropoidea is, after all, the most appropriate.

 Prosimian --  Britannica Student Encyclopedia
The order Primates is divided into two suborders: the Strepsirhini, which consists of the prosimians, and the Haplorhini, which contains the so-called higher primates—monkeys, apes, and humans.
Although primate taxonomy remains a subject of debate, most modern classifications now divide the Primates into the suborders Haplorhini and Strepsirhini.
The Haplorhini are further divided into the Platyrrhini (comprising the New World monkeys) and the Catarrhini (comprising the Old...

 Unique Characteristics of Primateness - National Zoo| FONZ
Anthropoidea and Tarsiodea, which were once included as prosimians, are now combined to form the Suborder Haplorhini or animals with a simple, dry nose.
The living Strepsirhini are divided into two main infraorders; the Lemuriformes, which contain the lemurs, dwarf lemurs, sifakas, and aye-ayes; and the Lorisiformes, the lorises and bushbabies.
They are considered living fossils being the nearest relatives to the Haplorhini ancestors.

Spec's change in primate evolution, the switch that failed to turn on, occurred some time during the Eocene, still early in the Cenozoic.
At this point in our home timeline, the first primates split into two lineages, the Strepsirhini (which include lemurs and lorises) and the Haplorhini (which include tarsiers and monkeys including apes including humans).
Instead, Spec has the pokemuroids, which are absent from Home-Earth (prompting certain philosophers to ask whether a tree fox is, ultimately, sort of a failed human...

Two suborders have been identified: the Strepsirhini with eight families (prosimians and lower primates), and the Haplorhini with seven families (higher-order primates).
Although taxonomic classification for the early primates is still heavily debated, evidence suggests that archaic primate forms appeared sometime during the early Paleocene in the Northern Hemisphere (North America and Europe).
One might expect one or more of the great apes to be the topic of this essay as they include the largest of the primates, but the logic in highlighting the species below is based on the idea that the life histories and conservation status of most great apes is relatively well-known.

 Primate Genomics: The Search for Genic Changes that Shaped being Human
The total group includes, in addition to all members of the crown group, the stem of the LCA and all extinct offshoots of the stem.
Thus the age of 63 Ma for the LCA of all living primates – that is, the age for Primates as a crown group – is the age for both Strepsirhini and Haplorhini as total groups.
In turn, the ages of 50 Ma and 58 Ma listed alongside of Strepsirhini and Haplorhini, respectively, are the ages for these two taxa treated as crown groups.
