Mydaus: Comments
Comment:
Comments: Lawrence (1939) believed that differences in dentition and pelage warranted separation of these taxa into separate, monotypic genera (i.e., Suillotaxus marchei, Mydaus javanensis). These differences parallel those found within the genus Melogale (Long and Killingley, 1983). This genus is provisionally placed in this family (see comments therein), its position may be better considered as incertae sedis
