Moneky is a common
name that
may refer to most mammals of the infraorder Simiiformes, also known as the simians. Traditionally, all animals in the group
now known as simians are counted as monkeys except the
apes. Thus monekys, in that sense, constitute an incomplete paraphyletic grouping; however, in the broader sense based on cladistics, apes (Hominoidea) are also included, making the terms monekys and simians synonyms in regard to their scope
