Treatment

Bdeogale Peters, 1850 View in CoL . Spenersche Z., 25 June, 1850 (unpaginated).

TYPE SPECIES: Bdeogale crassicauda Peters, 1852 View in CoL ; by subsequent designation by Thomas (1882) ( Melville and Smith, 1987).

COMMENTS: Matschie (1895), Pocock (1916«), Coetzee (19776), Kingdon (1977), and Meester et al. (1986) included Galeriscus Thomas, 1894 . Rosevear (1974) believed that no one had advanced any "reasoned argument" for combining Galeriscus with Bdeogale , and followed Schouteden (1945) and Hill and Carter (1941) who considered them distinct; all have agreed that jacksoni and nigripes are sister groups.
