Strepsirrhini
Strepsirrhini or Strepsirhini (; ) is a suborder of primates that includes the lemuriform primates, which consist of the lemurs of Madagascar, galagos ("bushbabies") and pottos from Africa, and the lorises from India and Southeast Asia. Collectively they are referred to as strepsirrhines.
Catarrhini
The parvorder Catarrhini (known commonly as catarrhine monkeys, Old World anthropoids, or Old World monkeys) consists of the Cercopithecoidea (Old World monkeys) and Hominoidea (apes). In 1812, Geoffroy grouped those two groups together and established the name Catarrhini, "Old World monkeys", ("''singes de l'Ancien Monde" in French). Its sister in the infraorder Simiiformes (simians) is the parvorder Platyrrhini (New World monkeys). There has been some resistance to directly designate apes (and thus humans) as monkeys despite the scientific evidence, so "Old World monkey" may be taken to mean
Nycticebus
genus of mammals
Achnatherum
Achnatherum is a genus of flowering plants in the grass family, Poaceae. It includes 20 species of needlegrass native to temperate Eurasia and North Africa. Several needlegrass species have been switched between Achnatherum and genus Stipa; taxonomy between the two closely related genera is still uncertain. In 2019 Peterson et al. reorganized the genera in tribe Stipeae based on molecular DNA studies, and placed the species from the Americas into other genera.
Macropodium
Macropodium is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Brassicaceae.
Euclidium
Euclidium is a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae. It includes a single species, Euclidium syriacum, a white-flowered annual herb native to Eurasia. It ranges from southeastern Europe to Ukraine and European Russia, the Caucasus, western and Central Asia, the western Himalayas, Xinjiang, and Mongolia.
