Description

Procyonidae Gray 1825

Procyonidae Gray 1825, Ann. Philos., n. s., 10: 339.

Synonyms: Bassaricyonidae Coues 1887; Bassaridae Gray 1869; Bassariscidae Gray 1869; Cercoleptidae Bonaparte 1838; Nasuidae Gray 1869; Potidae Degland 1854; Potosinae Trouessart 1904.

Genera: 6 genera with 14 species:

Genus Bassaricyon J. A. Allen 1876 (5 species)

Genus Bassariscus Coues 1887 (2 species with 19 subspecies)

Genus Nasua Storr 1780 (2 species with 17 subspecies)

Genus Nasuella Hollister 1915 (1 species with 3 subspecies)

Genus Potos E. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and F. G. Cuvier 1795 (1 species with 7 subspecies)

Genus Procyon Storr 1780 (3 species with 26 subspecies)

Discussion: Revised by Hollister (1915 a), Pocock (1921 a), Baskin (1982, 1989), and Decker and Wozencraft (1991). Does not include Ailurus or Ailuropoda, following Davis (1964), Todd and Pressman (1968), Sarich (1976), Ginsburg (1982), Wozencraft (1989), Decker and Wozencraft (1991), Bininda-Emonds et al., (1999), and Flynn et al. (2000). However, Hollister (1915 a), Gregory (1936), and Thenius (1979) considered Ailurus in the Procyonidae.
