Pocock, 1907, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., v. 2, 1039.— Teeth 38: i. 3/3, c. 1/1, pm. 4/4, m. 1/2; 2d upper molar 
absent. Sole of foot with narrow bald band running up toward tarsus. Africa. 
Poiana was placed provisionally in lin3ANGInae by Pocock (1915, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 8th ser., v. 16^ 
350) on basis of absence of scent-glands. Since 1915, this genus has been found to have elaborate scent- 
glands and consequently Pocock (1929, Encycl. brit., 14th ed., v. 4, 898) places it in viverrinae.
