Topic: Viverrinae


  
  Philippe Gaubert - PhD Thesis
The subfamily Viverrinae (Carnivora, Feliformia, Viverridae) has a much debated systematics, which is representative of the taxonomic imbroglio prevailing within the "catch-all" family Viverridae.
Viverrinae are constituted by a set of species with heteroclite morphotypes: the Terrestrial Civets, large and digitigrade (Civettictis, Viverra and Viverricula), the Genets, smaller, thinner and semi-digitigrade (Genetta), and a set of taxa with atypical morphological characteristics, the Genet-like taxa (Prionodon, Poiana and Osbornictis).
The subfamily Viverrinae, consisting of a set of heteroclite morphotypes (also within genus Genetta), is characterized by a remarkable morphological lability, and viverrine lineages seem to have been the subject of important extinction rates.

The family Viverridae is divided into four subfamilies Cryptoproctinae, Viverrinae, Hemigalinae and Paradoxurinae (Wozencraft 1989b).
Of the six subfamilies, the viverrids in India are represented by two subfamilies Viverrinae and Paradoxurinae with nine species (Table 3).
