Otocolobus Brandt, 1842 View in CoL . Bull. Sci. Acad. Imp. Sci. St. Petersbourg, 9:col. 38.
TYPE SPECIES: Felis manul Pallas, 1776 View in CoL , by original designation.
SYNONYMS: Trichaelurus Satunin, 1905 .
COMMENTS: Palmer (1904:487) and Allen (1938) believed that Otocolobus Severtzov, 1858 , was a junior homonym of Otocolobus Brandt, 1844 , a subgenus of Sciuridae , and suggested using Trichaelurus Satunin, 1905 . Brandt apparently reassigned the generic name in 1844 after his initial use for a felid in 1842.
