COMMENTS: Thomas published two accounts of the type description in 1892, one printed in August ( Thomas, 1892a), and another printed in October ( Thomas, 1892b). Although Pocock (1933d) supported Thomas (1912) in separating this species into Diplogale ; Chasen (1940), Medway (1977), and Payne et al. (1985) did not. Similiar differences in pelage and dentition have been used elsewhere (e.g., Osbornictis vs. Genetta ) at the generic level.
