Haplorhini

== Translingual == === Alternative forms === Haplorrhini === Etymology === From Ancient Greek ἁπλός (haplós, “simple”) + ῥινός (rhinós, “nose”), referring to the lack of a rhinarium (a wet nose, which is found in many mammals, including strepsirrhine primates). === Proper noun === Haplorhini A taxonomic suborder within the order Primates – tarsiers, monkeys, and apes. ==== Usage notes ==== The spelling with a single r, which was the one originally used (in Pocock 1918), has been modified by some taxonomists to have a double rr following rules of derivation in Ancient Greek (specifically, in a compound word the initial r- is automatically doubled after a vowel). Both spellings are in use in the scientific literature. ==== Hypernyms ==== (suborder): Eukaryota – superkingdom; Animalia – kingdom; Bilateria – subkingdom; Deuterostomia – infrakingdom; Chordata – phylum; Vertebrata – subphylum; Gnathostomata – infraphylum; Tetrapoda – superclass; Mammalia – class; Theria – subclass; Eutheria/Placentalia – infraclass; Primates – order ==== Hyponyms ==== (suborder): Tarsiiformes, Simiiformes – infraorders === References === Haplorhini on Wikipedia.Wikipedia Haplorhini on Wikispecies.Wikispecies
