GENUS Nectogale
Author: | Milne-Edwards, 1870. | Citation: | C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris, 70: 341. | Type Species: | Nectogale elegans Milne-Edwards, 1870. | Comments: | For placement in Soricinae see Vogel and Besancon (1979); formerly in tribe Neomyini; see Repenning (1967:45). Gureev (1971:226) placed Nectogale in a subtribe Nectogalina, but all authors prior to McKenna and Bell (1997) overlooked the fact that Nectogalini Anderson, 1879 was available. |
