GENUS Choloepus

Author:Illiger, 1811.
Citation:Prodr. Syst. Mamm. Avium.: 108.
Type Species:Bradypus didactylus Linnaeus, 1758, by subsequent designation (Gray, 1827).
Comments:Reviewed by Wetzel (1985a). The original spelling of Unaues Rafinesque was Unaüs, which required a substitution of ue for ü. The spellings Cholaepus, Chaelopus, and Choelopus of various authors are all incorrect subsequent spellings of Choloepus Illiger. Cholopus Agassiz, 1847, is an invalid emendation of Choloepus Illiger.
