Discussion: Reviewed by Hückinghaus (1961) and Cabrera (1961). See Tate (1935:343) for the reason porcellus is "excluded from consideration" as the type because the name was not included under the generic name at the time of its original publication. This genus is in need of revision as the origin of the domesticated form and the number of species that occur in the wild remains unclear.
