Procaviidae Thomas 1892 View in CoL

Procaviidae Thomas 1892 View in CoL , Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1892: 51.

Synonyms: Hyracida Haeckel 1866 ; Hyracidae Gray 1821 ; Procaviinae Whitworth 1954 ; Procavioidea Kalandadze and Rautian 1992 .

Genera: 3 genera with 4 species:

Genus Dendrohyrax Gray 1868 (2 species with 6 subspecies)

Genus Heterohyrax Gray 1868 (1 species with 25 subspecies)

Genus Procavia Storr 1780 (1 species with 17 subspecies)

Discussion: Hyracidae Gray, 1821 , is a group name based on Hyrax Hermann, 1783 . Revised by Hahn (1934:207). Roche (1972) retained only Procavia and Dendrohyrax but Hoeck (1978) and Meester et al. (1986:178) retained Procavia , Heterohyrax , and Dendrohyrax as separate genera. A modern key to the genera was developed by Meester et al. (1986).
