| TRAITS |
STREPSIRRHINE |
HAPLORRHINE |
| prehensile tail | absent | |
| rhinarium | wet nose or rhinarium | present, dry nose |
| 2.1.3.3/2.1.3.3. dental pattern | 2.1.3.3 | 2.1.2.3 |

absent except Eulemur species have tapetum lucidum |
present |
| catarrhine nose | present | present |
| dental comb | yes, present | absent |
| ischial callosities | present | present in many species |
| female philopatry | present only in one species | present |
| nocturnal activity pattern | yes they are well adapted | both diurnal and nocturnal in some species |
|
sexually dimorphic or sexually dichromatic |
not all are sexually dimorphic a few are monomorphic | More sexual dimorphism |
| vertical clinging and leaping | most common | quadrupedal, most common |
| post-orbital plate | present, unique feature | absent |
