Description
Vulpes Frisch, 1775. Das Natur-System der Vierfüssigen Thiere, p. 15.
TYPE SPECIES: Canis vulpes Linnaeus, 1758, by designation under the plenary powers (Melville and Smith, 1978).
SYNONYMS: Fennecus Desmarest, 1804.
COMMENTS: Although Frisch (1774 (1775]) has been ruled a rejected work for nomenclatural purposes, Vulpes has been retained (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1979). Considered a subgenus of Canis by Van Gelder (1978); however, this arrangement is not currently employed by most mammalogists (Corbet, 1978c; Corbet and Hill, 1980; Gromov and Baranova, 1981; Hall, 1981; Wozencraft, 1989b). Includes Fennecus; see comments under V. zerda and Urocyon.
