Procyonidae Gray 1825

Description

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

COMMENTS: Revised by Hollister (1915), Pocock (1921a), Baskin (1982, 1989), and Decker and Wozencraft (1991). Does not include Ailurus or Ailuropoda, following information presented in Davis (1964), Todd and Pressman (1968), Sarich (1976), Ginsburg (1982), Wozencraft (19896), and Decker and Wozencraft (1991); however, Hollister (1915), Gregory (1936), Thenius (1979), and Flynn et al. (1988) considered Ailurus in the Procyonidae.
