Comments: | Pocock (1933c) 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) excluded Prionodon from the Viverrinae (followed here). |
