| Author: | Pocock, 1933. | | Citation: | Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1933: 970. | | Comments: | Pocock (1933d) and Gregory and Hellman (1939) placed Poiana and Prionodon in the Prionodontinae, considered a sister group to the remaining viverrines. This was not followed by Gill (1872), Simpson (1945), Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951), Rosevear (1974), and Wozencraft (1989b). Gaubert et al. (2004) demonstrated that Prionodon should be excluded from the Viverrinae but left Poiana in the Viverrinae (which is followed here); however, see Hunt (2001) who included Poiana. |
