"A review of the varied classifications of Recent members of the family Canidae involving morphological, numerical, and reproductive analyses suggests that the taxonomy should be arranged with six monotypic genera (Chrysocyon, Speothos, Nyctereutes, Cuon, Lycaon, and Otocyon), and one polytypic genus, Canis, with eight subgenera (Canis, Dusicyon, Pseudalopex, Lycalopex, Cerdocyon, Atelocynus, Vulpes, and Alopex)"--P. [1].
