Euplerinae Chenu 1850 View in CoL

Euplerinae Chenu 1850 View in CoL , Ency. Hist. Nat., Vol. 21: 165.

Synonyms: Cryptoproctina Gray 1865 ; Cryptoproctidae Flower 1869 ; Cryptoproctinae Trouessart 1885 .

Genera: 3 genera with 3 species:

Genus Cryptoprocta Bennett 1833 (1 species)

Genus Eupleres Doyère 1835 (1 species with 2 subspecies)

Genus Fossa Gray 1864 (1 species)

Discussion: Bininda-Emonds et al. (1999) and Yoder et al. (2003) considered these taxa a monophyletic group (followed here). Few have questioned that Fossa and Eupleres are more closely related to each other than to Cryptoprocta and Hunt (2001) placed Cryptoprocta in a separate taxon.
