Herpestes naso de Winton 1901 View in CoL , Bull. Liverpool Mus., 3: 35.

Type Locality: " Cameroon River, West Africa" [ Cameroon].

Vernacular Names: Long-nosed Mongoose.

Synonyms: Herpestes almodovari Cabrera 1902 ; Herpestes microdon (J. A. Allen 1919) ; Herpestes nigerianus Thomas 1912 .

Distribution: Cameroon, Dem. Rep. Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Kenya, Niger, Republic of Congo, Tanzania.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Placed in Xenogale by Allen (1919 b), and followed by Rosevear (1974), Ansell (1978) and Colyn and Van Rompaey (1994). This taxon, and ichneumon , which is generally recognized as its sister taxon ( Allen, 1919 b; Hayman, in Sanderson, 1940; Rosevear, 1974), can be distinguished principally by proportional differences of the interorbital region ( Rosevear, 1974). Allen (1919 b), Hayman (in Sanderson, 1940), Wenzel and Haltenorth (1972), Rosevear (1974), and Coetzee (1977 b) did not feel these differences were sufficient to warrant generic distinction. Recognition of Xenogale would make Herpestes paraphyletic. Reviewed by Orts (1970) and Colyn and van Rompaey (1994) who provide an excellent summary of the taxonomic discussion and who could find no subspecies differentiation.
