I'm confused: the article is called 'Haplorrhini' (two 'R's) and yet the text uses the words Haplorhini and haplorhines (one 'R') throughout.. the opening line even specifies a single R. Any experts know the correst usage? Kaid100 (talk) 12:47, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think two r's is correct per the Wikispecies link, the interlanguage links, and other indicators. An anonymous user, 70.171.203.154 decided to change names with two r's to have one r's in a few articles on primates, for no apparent reason. Graham87 12:57, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
One 'r' is correct - see Klein (1999) "The Human Career", a standard textbook on human evolution.
