description: <i>Paguma larvata</i> (C. E. Hamilton] Smith, 1827). <i>In</i> Griffith et al., Anim. Kingdom, 2:281. TYPE LOCALITY: Not given. Fixed by Temminck (1841) as " Nepal ". Gray (1864) discounted this because he knew of no specimens from Nepal, and reassigned the name to two specimens from Canton, China collected by J. R. Reeve (Pocock, 1934a). DISTRIBUTION: Bangladesh, Burma, Cambodia, China (Hainan Dao north to Hopei, Shanxi and the vicinity of Beijing), India (and S Andaman Isis), Indonesia (N Borneo, Sumatra), Japan (introduced), Laos, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam. STATUS: CITES - Appendix III (India). SYNONYMS: <i>annectens</i> Robinson and Kloss, 1918; <i>aurata</i> Blainville, 1842; <i>grayi</i> Bennett, 1835; <i>hainana</i> Thomas, 1909; <i>intrudens</i> Wroughton, 1910; <i>janetta</i> Thomas, 1928; <i>jourdanii</i> Gray, 1837; <i>laniger</i> Hodgson, 1841; <i>lanigerus</i> Hodgson, 1836; <i>leucocephala</i> Gray,, 1850; <i>leucomystax</i> Gray, 1837; <i>neglecta</i> Pocock, 1934; <i>nigriceps</i> Pocock, 1939; <i>nipalensis</i> Hodgson, 1836; <i>ogilbyi</i> Fraser, 1849; <i>pallasii</i> Otto, 1835; <i>reevesi</i> Matschie, 1908; <i>rivalis</i> Thomas, 1921; <i>robustus</i> Miller, 1906; <i>rubidus</i> Blyth, 1858; <i>taivana</i> Swinhoe, 1862; <i>tytlerii</i> Tytler, 1864; <i>vagans</i> Kloss, 1919; <i>wroughtoni</i> Schwarz, 1913; <i>yunalis</i> Thomas, 1921. COMMENTS: Pocock (1934b) included <i>Paradoxurus tytlerii.</i> The "imperfect, no doubt immature skin, without skull (B.M. no. 43.1.12.103)" (Pocock, 1941a:416) provisionally recognized by Pocock as <i>P. lanigera</i> does not contain diagnostic features that would definitively align the specimen with <i>Paguma</i> (Ellerman and MorrisonScott, 1951).
