On the nomenclature of the American clade of weasels (Carnivora: Mustelidae)
Species Diversity

Review Article
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:14px;">A brief review of the phylogeny and nomenclature of the weasels, genus <em>Mustela</em> Linnaeus, 1758 in the broad sense, indicates continuing confusion over the appropriate name for the well-supported American clade included within it. A case is made that the American mink (<em>Neovison vison</em>) and three allied species (<em>Mustela frenata</em>, <em>M. felipei</em>, and <em>M. africana</em>) should now be recognized in the genus <em>Neogale</em> Gray, 1865. The ages and morphological disparities of both <em>Neogale </em>and <em>Mustela </em>sensu stricto indicate that both are in need of comprehensive revisions.</span></span></div>
