COMMENTS. — Péron (1804a) used the name “ Canis laniger (Sp. N.)”, and gave the location as “ Cape le Bonne esperance” (Cape of Good Hope), suggesting it is a new species but he did not publish the name. It is unknown if the taxon being referred to was from the genus Canis . Hodgson (1847: 474) subsequently applied the unrelated name Canis laniger to a canid from Tibet.
