GENUS Melogale

Author:I. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1831.
Citation:In Bélanger (ed.), Voy. Indes Orient., 3(Zoologie)(129): pl. 5 [issued 13 March 1831].
Type Species:Melogale personata I. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1831.
Comments:There is uncertainty as to the total number of species in this genus. Most recent authors tend to consider everetii and/or orientalis as conspecific with personata; however, Pocock (1941a), Everts (1968), Long (1978, 1981), and Long and Killingley (1983) supported the recognition of these populations as distinct. Long and Killingley pointed out that there is no published information to refute Pocock's (1941a) revision.
