GENUS Helogale

Author:Gray, 1861.
Actual Date:1862
Citation:Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1861: 308.
Type Species:Herpestes parvulus Sundevall, 1847 by subsequent designation by Thomas (1882) (Melville and Smith, 1987).
Comments:The number of taxa ascribed to this genus is provisional. Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1953) recognized seven species, Allen (1939) listed eleven. The acceptance here of two follows Coetzee (1977b). The range of H. hirtula is included within that of H. parvula. McKenna and Bell (1997) included Dologale without discussion.
