Ctenodactylomorphi is an infraorder of rodent's suborder Hystricomorpha. To that infraorder belongs only one family, Ctenodactylidae Gervais, 1853. [1]
Prosimians are a group of primates that includes all living and extinct strepsirrhines, as well as the haplorhine tarsiers and their extinct relatives, the omomyiforms, i.e. all primates excluding the simians. They are considered to have characteristics that are more "primitive" than those of simians.
Tarsiiformes are a group of primates that once ranged across Europe, northern Africa, Asia, and North America, but whose extant species are all found in the islands of Southeast Asia. Tarsiers are the only living members of the infraorder, and also include the extinct Tarsius eocaenus from the Eocene and Tarsius thailandicus from the Miocene. Two extinct genera, Xanthorhysis and Afrotarsius, are considered to be close relatives of the living tarsiers and are generally classified within Tarsiiformes, with the former grouped within family Tarsiidae and the latter listed as incertae sedis (undefined). Omomyids are generally considered to be extinct relatives, or even ancestors, of the living tarsiers and are often classified within Tarsiiformes. Other fossil primates, which include Microchoeridae, Carpolestidae, and Eosimiidae, have been included in this classification, although the fossil evidence is debated. Eosimiidae has also been classified under the infraorder Simiiformes. Likewise, Carpolestidae is often classified within the order Plesiadapiformes, a very close, extinct relative of primates. These conflicting classifications lie at the heart of the debate over early primate evolution. Even the placement of Tarsiiformes within suborder Haplorhini is still debated.
Lemuriformes is an infraorder of primate that falls under the suborder Strepsirrhini. It includes the lemurs of Madagascar, as well as the galagos and lorisids of Africa and Asia, although a popular alternative taxonomy places the lorisoids in their own infraorder, Lorisiformes.
Lorisoidea is a superfamily of nocturnal primates found throughout Africa and Asia. Members include the galagos and the lorisids. As strepsirrhines, lorisoids are related to the lemurs of Madagascar and are sometimes included in the infraorder Lemuriformes, although they are also sometimes placed in their own infraorder, LorisiformesGregory, 1915.
Anomaluromorpha is a clade that unites the anomalures with the springhares. It has alternately been designated as either a suborder or infraorder. Most recently, Carleton & Musser 2005 recognized it as one of five suborders of rodents.
Brandt's guiara, Euryzygomatomys guiara, is a Brazilian spiny rat species. It was formerly considered conspecific with E. spinosus.
The mouse-tailed Atlantic spiny-rat, Trinomys myosuros, is a spiny rat species from South America. It is found in Brazil.
The soft-spined Atlantic spiny-rat, Trinomys dimidiatus, is a spiny rat species from South America. It is endemic to Brazil.
Ihering's Atlantic spiny-rat, is a spiny rat species from South America. It is endemic to Brazil, and was named in honor of Hermann von Ihering.
Viverroidea is an infraorder of feliformia, containing both the family Viverridae, and the superfamily Herpestoidea.

Endeostigmata is a suborder of endeostigs in the order Sarcoptiformes, which is in the class Arachnida. There are about ten families in Endeostigmata.
Gryllidea is an infraorder that includes crickets and similar insects in the order Orthoptera. There are two superfamilies, and more than 6,000 described species in Gryllidea.
