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.
The Euarchonta are a superorder of mammals containing four orders: the Dermoptera or colugos, the Scandentia or tree shrews, the extinct Plesiadapiformes, and the Primates.

Some interpretations of the molecular data link Primates and Dermoptera in a clade known as Primatomorpha, which is the sister of Scandentia.
