This extinct genus is included in
Category:New World monkeys as "†Branisella", which means that it gets indexed in the category under "†". This seems odd to me, and I was going to change it, but it occurred to me that this might be intentional, so I thought this would be a good place to ask. I observe that
Noropithecus is not indexed that way in
Category:Old World monkeys
The
Primatomorpha and
Plesiadapiformes articles need attention. The taxobox at
Primatomorpha effectively treats Pan-Primates as a synonym of a redefined Plesiadapiformes including the crown group. The
Plesiadapiformes article starts by describing them as an extinct basal pan-Primates group, sister to the rest of Pan-Primates, but then has cladograms treating it as synonym of Pan-Primates or Primatomorpha, including all the stem taxa and the crown group. Has the traditional treatment defined Plesiadapiformes a distinct group of stem taxa (are there others?) or a paraphalytic grade excluding the crown? And has it been formally recircumscribed to include the crown? — Jts1882 |

Is it correct to say, as was stated
here, that "Chimpanzee is the generic term for both species" (P. troglodytes and P. paniscus)? --
