Palaogale ias feminine, so minuta and parvula are correct.

However…

It took me a long time to track down P. parvula. It was originally described by Matthew and Granger (1924) as Bunaelurus parvulus. It has reappeared occasionally in analyses by Meng & McKenna (1998) and Tsubamoto et al. (2004). But, it was in fact synonymized (I think correctly) with Palaeogale sectoria by Lange-Badre & Dashzeveg (1989). So that should be noted in NOW.

To further your work I am attaching an Excel file with the names of 1723 carnivore taxa. This was generated for a database project (submitted to Global Ecology and Biogeography). The names should be correct (although there may remain typos). So these can be checked against the names in NOW.

Edit • Delete indre.zliobaite Mar 1, 2023 2:11 PM Does Lars list occurrences for those that are NOT FOUND in NOW?

Edit • Delete indre.zliobaite Feb 27, 2023 11:50 AM In Excel or NOW?

Reply • Delete Kari Lintulaakso Feb 21, 2023 4:15 PM There are 68 updates that could be found quite easily (status=UPDATE).

In addition, there are over 400 taxa which were not found from the carnivore taxa list (status=NOT FOUND, the accepted taxa from Lars have no species_id).

Rest are taxa with sp. or indet. or are OK.

Also, depending on which is right, Hyaenidae or Hyanidae, additional updates need to be done.
