SUBFAMILY Euplerinae

Author:Chenu, 1850.
Citation:Ency. Hist. Nat., 21: 165.
Comments:Bininda-Emonds et al. (1999) and Yoder et al. (2003) considered these taxa a monophyletic group (followed here). Few have questioned that Fossa and Eupleres are more closely related to each other than to Cryptoprocta and Hunt (2001) placed Cryptoprocta in a separate taxon.
