Synonyms: Cynogalina Gray 1865; Cynogalidae Gray 1869; Cynogalini Simpson 1945; Hemigalida Gregory and Hellman 1939; Hemigalini Simpson 1945 .

Genera: 4 genera with 4 species:

Discussion: Simpson (1945) also included Eupleres and Fossa, following Pocock (1915 b). Pocock (1933 d) and Gregory and Hellman (1939) placed Cynogale in the monotypic Cynogalinae, although both recognized the close relationship of Cynogale to other hemigalines. Placed in Hemigalinae by Simpson (1945) and Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951).
