Euplerinae Chenu, 1852

W. Christopher Wozencraft, 1993, Order Carnivora, Mammal Species of the World (2 nd Edition), Washington and London: Smithsonian Institution Press, pp. 279-348 : 340

Subfamily Euplerinae Chenu, 1852 . Ency. Hist. Nat., 21:165.

COMMENTS: Type genus: Eupleres Doyère, 1835 , by monotypy ( Melville and Smith, 1987) for those who consider Eupleres and Hemigalus in different family groups. There is disagreement as to the subfamilies for Malagasy viverrids; Pocock (1915a) placed Fossa in the SE Asian Hemigalinae . The evidence for this is weak ( Albignac, 1973; Wozencraft, 1989a). Gregory and Hellman (1939), Albignac (1974), and Petter (1974), placed it in Fossinae; however, Eupleridae Chenu, 1852 , is the senior synonym.
