Noun
1. Strepsirrhini (primate suborder)
Wikipedia definition
2. StrepsirrhiniThe clade Strepsirrhini (New Latin, from Greek στρεψίς, strepsis, "a turning" and the stem of ρίς, rhis, "nose") is one of the two suborders of primates. Madagascar's only non-human primates are strepsirrhines, and others can be found in southeast Asia and Africa. The scientist given credit for the name, Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, named it for the retention of the rhinarium, a trait characterized as a wet nose, generally present in mammals.
