Discussion: Family reviewed by Mohr (1961). Morphological evidence suggests a subdivision of the genus into two genera ( Manis and Phataginus ), see Corbet and Hill (1992) and Patterson (1978); or four subgenera ( Manis , Paramanis , Smutsia , and Uromanis ), see Meester (1972 a), Meester et al. (1986), and Mohr (1961). Gaudin and Wible (1999) conducted a cladistical analysis of 67 cranial characters in extant pangolins plus one fossil genus and found that the Asian pangolins form a monophyletic clade while the African species form a paraphyletic assemblage.
