[Gulo] larvatus C. E. H. Smith 1827 , in: Griffith et al., Animal Kingdom, Vol. 2: 281.

Type Locality: Not given. Fixed by Temminck (1841) as " Nepal ". Gray (1864) discounted this because he knew of no specimens from Nepal, and reassigned the name to two specimens from Canton, China collected by J. R. Reeve ( Pocock, 1934 b) .

Vernacular Names: Masked Palm Civet.

Conservation: CITES – Appendix III ( India); IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Pocock (1934 b) included Paradoxurus tytlerii . P. lanigera , the "imperfect, no doubt immature skin, without skull (B.M. no. 43.1.12.103)" provisionally recognized as separate by Pocock (1941 a:416) does not contain diagnostic features that would definitively align the specimen with Paguma ( Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951) . Synonyms allocated according to Pocock (1934 b) and Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951).
