Description

Dologale Thomas 1926

Dologale Thomas 1926, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 9, 17: 183.

Type Species: Crossarchus dybowskii Pousargues 1893

Species and subspecies: 1 species:

Species Dologale dybowskii (Pousargues 1893)

Discussion: Revised by Hayman (1936). Although originally placed in Crossarchus, most since Hayman (1936) believed this genus to be the sister group to Helogale; Allen (1924) identified some specimens of this taxon as Helogale hirtula robusta. McKenna and Bell (1997) included it in Helogale without discussion.
