COMMENTS: Type genus: Viverra Linnaeus, 1758 , by original designation ( Melville and Smith, 1987). Pocock (1933d) and Gregory and Hellman (1939) placed Poiana and Prionodon in the Prionodontinae, considered a sister group to the remaining viverrines. This was not followed by Gill (1872), Simpson (1945), Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951), Rosevear (1974), and Wozencraft (1989b).
