Simia

Simia, the Latin name for an ape or monkey, and used by Linnæus in an almost equally wide sense, of which such current expressions as 'Simian tricks,' 'Simian language,' are a reflection. Technically, however, Simia is now reserved for the genus to which the Orang-outang (S. satyrus) belongs. Simiidae includes the Anthropoid Apes: Simiinae, the higher of the two sub-families of Simiidae, comprising the gorilla, chimpanzee, and orang.
