High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The clade Strepsirrhini (New Latin, from Greek strepsis, "a turning" and the stem of 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, Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, named it for the retention of the rhinarium, a trait characterized as a wet nose, generally present in mammals. In his catalog of features attributed to the Strepsirrhini, he lists "Les narines terminales et sinueuses" (translated "sinuous, twisted or curly nostrils"). Strepsirrhines are often characterized by their wet noses, but the etymology of their group name refers to the sinuous openings of the rhinarium's nostrils.
