The Archonta consist of the following orders :

• Primates
• Plesiadapiformes (extinct - primate-like archontans)
• Scandentia (treeshrews)
• Dermoptera (colugos)
• Chiroptera (bats)

Genetic analysis has suggested that the bats are not as closely related to the other groups as previously suspected. A revised category, Euarchonta, excluding bats, has been proposed.
