Poiana Gray, 1865 View in CoL . Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1864:507, 520 [1865].

TYPE SPECIES: Genetta richardsonii Thomson, 1842 , by monotypy ( Melville and Smith, 1987).

COMMENTS: Pocock (1933d) believed it very likely that richardsonii pocessed scent glands and therefore separated it from Prionodon , although it is the loss of scent glands in Prionodon which is derived ( Wozencraft, 1984).
