Procyon Storr, 1780 . Prodr. Meth. Mamm., p. 35.

TYPE SPECIES: Ursus lotor Linnaeus, 1758 , by designation by Elliot (1901).

COMMENTS: Reviewed by Goldman (1950) and Lotze and Anderson (1979); the later suggested gloveralleni , maynardi , and minor may be conspecific with lotor ; Corbet and Hill (1986) considered gloveralleni , insularis , minor , and pygmaeus as conspecific with lotor ; however, primary systematic works supporting these views are lacking.
