description: Family Canidae Fischer, 1817. Mém. Soc. Imp. Nat. Moscow, 5:372. COMMENTS: Conservation status and distribution reviewed by Ginsberg and Macdonald (1990). Reviewed by Langguth (1975) and Stains (1975). Revisions by Langguth (1969), Clutton-Brock et al. (1976), Van Gelder (1978), Berta (1987, 1988), Wayne and O'Brien (1987), and Wayne et al. (1987 a, <i>b,</i> 1989) gave little support to the subfamilies recognized by Simpson (1945); therefore, no subfamilies are recognized here. Van Gelder's (1977b) hybridization criteria for generic classification resulted in the recognition of only a few genera, including some paraphyletic groups.
