Description

Nandiniidae Pocock 1929

Nandiniidae Pocock 1929, Ency. Brit., (ed. 14), Vol. 3: 898.

Genera: 1 genus with 1 species:

Genus Nandinia Gray 1843 (1 species with 4 subspecies)

Discussion: Listed in Nandiniinae by Gregory and Hellman (1939), and Coetzee (1977 b). Hunt (1987, 1989, 1998), McKenna and Bell (1997), Hunt and Tedford (1993), Flynn and Nedbal (1998), and Veron and Heard (2000) argued that Nandinia should be placed in a monotypic family based on the plesiomorphic condition of its auditory bullae (Pohle, 1920 b). This has been confirmed by molecular data (Flynn and Nedbal, 1998; Veron and Heard, 2000; Yoder et al., 2003). Bininda-Emonds et al. (1999) considered Nandinia most closely related to the Paradoxurine palm civets.
