Lycalopex

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lycalopex is a genus created by Burmeisteri in 1854 for the Hoary Fox (Pseudalopex vetulus). Other authors decided to reduce this genus to a subgenus of other Canidae genera, including Dusycion and Pseudalopex, but there is still controversy on the question of whether or not use the genus for some South American foxes.
