      Simiiformes is a clear and distinct clade.

      There is no such thing for trees, because “tree” is a botanical classification, not a cladistical one.

        Simiiformes is a clear and distinct clade.

        Yes but who says that specific clade maps to the colloquial taxonomic word “monkey”?
