A general term for all monkeys in the order Primates, suborder Anthropoidea, excluding Capuchinoidea (platyrrhini). In other words, this class Catarrhini is a general term for the superfamily Cercopithecinoidea and the superfamily Anthropoidea (Hominoidea). The former consists of one family, the latter two, and the name was given to Capuchin monkeys, who have a wide nostril spacing, based on their narrow morphological characteristics.
