platyrhine
Platyrhine is a term used in zoology to refer to monkeys of the New World (South and Central America), also known as Platyrrhini, that are characterized by broad noses with sideways-facing nostrils, a lack of cheek pouches and non-prehensile lips. These include animals such as capuchins, spider monkeys and howler monkeys. This is in contrast to monkeys from the Old World (Africa, Asia), which are referred to as catarrhine.
