Genus VULPES Brisson.^ 
1762. Vidpes Brisson, Regn. anim., ii ed., p. 173. Type.— 
Vidpes Brissox = vulpes Lixnaeus. 
According to Trouessart (Catal. mamm., pt. iii, ji. 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 Uidpes was first used by 
Richardson (Fauna Boreali-Americana, i, p. 83, 1829, type, Canis 
vnlpes Linnaeus).
