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).
