GENUS Helarctos
Author: | Horsfield, 1825. | Citation: | Zool. J., 2(6): 221. | Type Species: | Helarctos euryspilus Horsfield, 1825 (= Ursus malayanus by Raffles, 1821, by original designation (Melville and Smith, 1987). | Comments: | Revised by Pocock (1932b). Van Gelder (1977b) placed Helarctos in Melursus. Pocock (1941a) and Bininda-Emonds et al. (1999) suggested a close relationship between M. ursinus and H. malayanus; however, this was not supported by Goldman et al. (1989). |
