GENUS Hemigalus
| Author: | Jourdan, 1837. | | Citation: | C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, 5: 442. | | Type Species: | Hemigalus zebra Jourdan, 1837 (= Paradoxurus derbyanus Gray, 1837) by monotypy. | | Comments: | Corbet and Hill (1992) included Chrotogale but excluded Diplogale. There is little question that these three taxa represent a monophyletic group and few would question that Diplogale is more closely related to Hemigalus than Chrotogale. Molecular studies by Veron and Heard (2000) supported the separation of Hemigalus and Chrotogale. |
