FAMILY Eupleridae

Author:Chenu, 1850.
Citation:Ency. Hist. Nat., 21: 165.
Comments:The Malagasy carnivores have been problematic since their discovery. They have been placed in the Viverridae, the Herpestidae, and separated into monotypic families. Veron and Catzeflis (1993) and Yoder et al. (2003) provided the strongest evidence that all Malagasy carnivores represent a single radiation.
