Authors/Creators
Description
Hydrochaeris Brunnich, 1772. Zool. Fundamenta, p. 44.
TYPE SPECIES: Sus hydrochaeris Linnaeus, 1758.
SYNONYMS: Capiguara, Xenohydrochoerus.
COMMENTS: Mones and Ojasti (1986:5) recommended retention of the original name Hydrochoerus; Husson (1978:456-457) discussed the spelling of the generic name and concluded that Hydrochoerus Brisson, 1762 is not valid because Brisson's (1762) work was not consistently binominal.
