Order Carnivora Author Wilson, Don E.

Hist. Nat., Vol. 21: 165 . Synonyms: Cryptoproctina Gray 1865 ; Cryptoproctidae Flower 1869 ; Cryptoproctinae Trouessart 1885 . Genera: 3 genera with 3 species: Genus Cryptoprocta Bennett 1833 (1 species) Genus Eupleres Doyère 1835 (1 species with 2 subspecies) Genus Fossa Gray 1864 (1 species) 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.
