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).
An extensive review of dentition led Schwartz and Tattersall (1985) to suggest that the Megaladapidae, as well as the Indriidae and Lemuridae, are associated phylogenetically with the fossil family Adapidae of the European Eocene, and that the Cheirogaleidae and Lorisidae are associated with certain Eocene non-adapid strepsirhine primates.

McKenna and Bell (1997) included Galagoninae and Lorinae as subfamilies, with Lorini (Arctocebus and Loris) and Nycticebini (Nycticebus and Perodicticus) as tribes; but their tribes are not monophyletic (Groves, 2001c).
