Manidae ("spirits") is the only extant family of pangolins.[5] This family comprises three genera (Manis from subfamily Maninae, Phataginus from subfamily Phatagininae, and Smutsia from subfamily Smutsiinae),[6][7] as well as the extinct Fayum pangolin.[8]

Classification and phylogeny

[edit]

History of classification

[edit]

All species of living pangolin had been assigned to the genus Manis until the late 2000s, when research prompted the splitting of extant pangolins into three genera: Manis, Phataginus, and Smutsia.[5][9]
