subgenus, Pseudalopex, leaving in Lycalopex, of the species originally 

 referred to it, C. cancrivorus and C. vetiihis. To Pseudalopex he also 

 referred C. gnseus Gray, making Pseudalopex a pure synonym of Cer- 

 docyon, as is also Pseudalopex of Gray, excluding C. antarcticits. 



Gray, in 1868, still further restricted Lycalopex by removing from it C. 

 cancrivorus, to form, as already stated, his new genus Tlioiis, the name 

 for which being preoccupied is above replaced by Carciuocyon. Of the 

 four species originally included in Lycalopex two {azarcs and magellauiciis) 

 already belonged to Cerdocyon, and the removal of caiicn'vorHS to Tlioiis 

 left in it C. vetnliis of both Lund and Burmeister. If C. 'vetiihis Bur- 

 meister is not the C. vet/tins Lund,' as Mivart believed, but is referable to 

 what Mivart saw fit to name C. parvidens, C. vetulus Burmeister was really 

 nameless, and Lycalopex cannot thus take the place of Eunothocyou. On 

 the other hand, Lycalopex cannot be made to replace Tho/is, when Gray, 

 in establishing Tlioiis, preserved Lycalopex for what he regarded as 

 another and distinct genus, to include the C. vetulns and C. fitlvicaudus 

 of Lund.

' Canis vetnlus Lund has been sometimes referred to C. azarm Wied (= C. brasiliensis Schinz) 

 and also to C. gracilis Burm. In either case it falls into the group Cerdocyon Ham. Smith.
