It is placed in its own infraorder (Chiromyiformes), and it is uncertain whether this infraorder split off from the ancestral strepsirrhine line before the lemurs and lorises, or after.
Families Cheirogaleidae Lemuridae Megaladapidae Indridae Lemurs are part of a class of primates known as prosimians, and make up the infraorder Lemuriformes.

The name of this family is usually spelled Indriidae; here, we follow Wilson and Reeder (1991) and sources cited therein in the spelling Indridae, and in using using the generic name Avahi rather than Lichanotus.
Despite relatively few species, the Indridae are a diverse lot, ranging in body length from only about 300 mm in body length (excluding the tail) to almost a meter, and from around 1 kg weight to 10 kg (the largest strepsirhine).

Its major taxonomic subgroups are the true lemurs (Lemuriidae), mouse and dwarf lemurs (Cheirogaleidae), indris and sifakas (Indridae), and perhaps the phylogenetically oddest of all primates, the aye-aye (Daubentonidae).
Few are maintained in captivity; the most likely representatives to be seen in captivity are the Lemuriidae: the ring-tailed lemur (Lemur catta), the brown lemur (Eulemur fulvus), and the ruffed lemur (Varecia variegatus).
The Indridae (indris and sifakas) have highly developed leaping abilities—individual jumps can be up to 7 m (23 ft) laterally—and they need more space and more vertical supports than do other prosimians.
