 | | The living Strepsirhini are sometimes divided into two infraorders: the Lemuriformes, for the Lemuridae, Indriidae, and Daubentoniidae; and the Lorisiformes, for the Lorisidae. |
 | | The genera Microcebus, Mirza, Cheirogaleus, Allocebus, and Phaner, all formerly assigned to the Lemuridae, are now placed in the family Cheirogaleidae, and this family is considered to be associated with the Lorisidae (Tattersall 1982; Tattersall and Schwartz 1975). |
 | | The sequence of haplorhine families presented here follows that of Hershkovitz (1977), who divided the living members of this group into three infraorders: Tarsii, for the tarsiers; Platyrrhini, for the New World monkeys; and Catarrhini, for the Old World monkeys, the apes, and humans. |
