GENUS Procyon

Author:Storr, 1780.
Citation:Prodr. Meth. Mamm.: 35.
Type Species:Ursus lotor Linnaeus, 1758, by designation by Elliot (1901).
Comments:Reviewed by Goldman (1950) and Lotze and Anderson (1979). Hall (1981) listed minor, gloveralleni, insularis, maynardi, and pygmaeus as distinct, but gave no supporting rationale. Koopman et al. (1957) examined the type series of maynardi and showed them to be conspecific with lotor. Lotze and Anderson (1979) and Corbet and Hill (1986) have suggested that only cancrivorus and lotor are distinct, and other species are conspecific with lotor. Pons et al. (1999) showed that minor is conspecific with lotor, and Helgen and Wilson (2003) showed that gloveralleni, maynardi, and minor are introductions to the Caribbean from eastern United States.
