Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Platyrrhine nose refers to a broad, flat nose with widely spaced nostrils, which is a characteristic feature of New World monkeys. Old World monkeys, on the other hand, have narrow, downward-facing nostrils. New World monkeys also have a prehensile tail and tend to have less dexterous hands compared to Old World monkeys, which have opposable thumbs and often have a "dental comb" made up of their lower incisor teeth.
