Mydaus F. G. Cuvier 1821 View in CoL , in: E. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and F. G. Cuvier, Hist. Nat. Mammiferes, pt. 2, Vol. 3, 27: "Telagon", 2 pp., 1 pl.

Type Species: Mydaus meliceps F. G. Cuvier 1821

Synonyms: Mydaon Gloger 1865 ; Suillotaxus Lawrence 1939 .

Species and subspecies: 2 species with 3 subspecies:

Species Mydaus javanensis ( Desmarest 1820)

Subspecies Mydaus javanensis subsp. javanensis Desmarest 1820

Subspecies Mydaus javanensis subsp. lucifer Thomas 1902

Subspecies Mydaus javanensis subsp. ollula Thomas 1902

Species Mydaus marchei Huet 1887

Discussion: Lawrence (1939) believed that differences in dentition and pelage warranted separation of these taxa into separate, monotypic genera (i.e., Suillotaxus marchei , Mydaus javanensis ). These differences parallel those found within the genus Melogale ( Long and Killingley, 1983) . This genus is provisionally placed in this family (see comments therein), its position may be better considered as incertae sedis.
