Discussion: Gregory and Hellman (1939), Beaumont (1964), and Veron (1995) argued that Cryptoprocta be placed in the Felidae because of morphological similarities, but Veron (1995) showed that the dental features shared by Felidae and Cryptoprocta are the result of a convergence. Albignac (1970), Thenius (1972), Radinsky (1975), Coetzee (1977 b), Flynn et al. (1988), and Wozencraft (1989 a, b) placed in the Viverridae ; Hemmer (1978) suggested an intermediate position. Veron and Catzeflis (1993) and Yoder et al. (2003) suggested affinities with the Galidiinae ( Herpestidae ) rather than with the Viverridae .
