Euarchonta

 Dermoptera
 Scandentia
 Primates The term Euarchonta first appeared in the general scientific literature in 1999, when molecular evidence suggested that the morphology-based Archonta be trimmed down to exclude Chiroptera.

Molecular data link Primates and Dermoptera in a clade known as Primatamorpha , which is the sister of Scandentia. Together, the three are known as Euarchonta, the True Founders.

Euarchonta and Glires together form the Euarchontoglires, one of the four Eutherian clades.
