1. New World monkey

   New World monkeys are the five families of primates that are found in the tropical regions of Mexico, Central and South America: Callitrichidae, Cebidae, Aotidae, Pitheciidae, and Atelidae. The five families are ranked together as the Ceboidea (), the only extant superfamily in the parvorder Platyrrhini ().Platyrrhini is derived from the Greek for "broad nosed", and their noses are flatter than those of other simians, with sideways-facing nostrils. Monkeys in the family Atelidae, such as the spider monkey, are the only primates to have prehensile tails. New World monkeys' closest relatives are the other simians, the Catarrhini ("down-nosed"), comprising Old World monkeys and apes. New World monkeys descend from African simians that colonized South America, a line that split off about 40 million years ago.

1. new world monkey

   New World Monkeys are a group of primates that includes various species found primarily in Central and South America. They are distinguished from Old World monkeys (found in Africa and Asia) by certain physical and anatomical characteristics such as broad, side-facing nostrils, tails that are often prehensile (used for grasping or holding), and typically lack of buttock pads, or ischial callosities. New World Monkeys are part of the Platyrrhini or Platyrrhines parvorder within the Primate order. Examples of New World Monkeys include capuchins, spider monkeys, and howler monkeys.
