Subfamily Nandiniinae Pocock, 1929 . Ency. Brit. (ed. 14), 3:898.

COMMENTS: Type genus: Nandinia Gray, 1843, by monotypy. Listed in Nandiniinae by Gregory and Hellman (1939), and Coetzee (1977b); separated at the family level by Pocock (1929), and Hunt (1987). Although Nandinia shares many derived features of the scent gland and external morphology with the viverrids (especially the Paradoxurinae), Hunt (1987) felt that the retention of the primitive features of the auditory bullae were sufficient to warrant separation at the family level.
