(1 species)
Genus

Discussion:
Bininda-Emonds et al. (1999)
and
Yoder et al. (2003)
considered these taxa a monophyletic group (followed here). Few have questioned that
Fossa
and
Eupleres
are more closely related to each other than to
Cryptoprocta
and
Hunt (2001)
placed
Cryptoprocta
in a separate taxon.
