ask some person with some animal knowledge Answer I have a problem with the question. Taxon is a noun meaning one of the levels in the classification hierarchy. For example, class, order and family are all taxa. What you probably want is the taxonomy or classification of monkeys. Domain Eukarya Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Subphylum Vertebrata Class Mammalia Order Primates Primates include lemurs, apes, tarsiers, bushbabies, humans, lorises and potoos as well as monkeys. There are two parvorders that include monkeys (See Wikipedia, 'Monkey'), Catarrhini and Platyrhini. Patyrhini includes the New World Monkeys and Catarrhini comprises the Old World Monkeys. Examples of monkey genera Papio Callicebus Leontopithecus MacacaCercopithecus Semnopithecus Callithrix In English, monkeys include Mangabeys macaques baboons leaf monkeys/langurs night monkeys vervet monkeys patas monkeys drills mandrills samango monkeys marmosets tamarins capuchins colobus monkeys guenons
