- Old World monkeys ( catarrhines )
The dry nose primates, dry nose or hair monkey proboscis monkey ( Haplorhini or Haplorrhini ) are a lineage of primates. They are compared with the wet nose and primates are divided into the tarsiers and monkeys. Traditionally, the tarsiers are, however, combined with the wet nose primates as lemurs.
General
The dry nose primates to which humans belong, differ in a number of characteristics of the wet nose primates, such as the nose leather ( Rhinarium ), which is not present in the dry nose primates, which is also reflected in a rather poorer sense of smell; well these animals have a bony wall between the eye and temple caves. Moreover, in case of dry nose primates outweigh single births.
Dissemination
Dry nose primates (excluding humans) (but not on Madagascar) come in tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas and Africa, Gibraltar and in South and Southeast Asia all the way up to Japan before. The Barbary Macaque ( Macaca sylvanus ) is the only free-living primate species in Europe.
Humans colonized all continents, except Antarctica.
System
We divide the dry nose primates into the following groups:
- The tarsiers in Southeast Asia are traditionally grouped with the wet nose primates as lemurs.
- Monkeys The New World monkeys are found only in the Americas, hence the name. They are divided into five families: marmosets ( Callitrichidae ) Capuchin ( Cebidae ), owl monkeys ( Aotidae ), peg-tail monkeys ( Atelidae ) and Sakiaffen ( Pitheciidae ).
- The Old World monkeys from Eurasia and Africa are in turn divided into two superfamilies: the tailed Old World monkeys ( Cercopithecoidea ), the sole extant family are the Cercopithecidae ( Cercopithecidae ) and the anthropoids ( Hominoidea ) to which the gibbons and the great apes (including the Hominini ). include
