 Vulpes BRISSON Canis wipes LIXXAEUS. 



According to Trouessart (Catal. mamm., pt. in, p. 453, 1897) the 

 terms applied to genera by Brisson are monomial specific names 

 without status in the Linnaean binomial system of nomenclature. 

 If this view be adopted the generic name Vulpes was first used by 

 Richardson (Fauna Boreali- American a, i, p. 83, 1829, type, Canis 

 mdpes Linnaeus).
