Species

Civettictis is a genus ofviverrid that contains the extantAfrican civet(Civettictis civetta) and a recently described extinct relative from thePlio-Pleistocene ofSouth Africa known asCivettictis braini.[1]

Evolution

[edit]

A 2006phylogenetic study showed that the African civet is closely related to the genusViverra. It was estimated that theCivettictis-Viverraclade diverged fromViverricula around 16.2Mya; the African civet split fromViverra 12.3 Mya. The authors suggested that thesubfamily Viverrinae should be bifurcated into Genettinae (Poiana andGenetta) and Viverrinae (Civettictis,Viverra andViverricula). The following cladogram is based on this study.[2]

Small Indian civet (Viverricula indica)

African civet (Civettictis civetta)

Viverra

Large Indian civet (Viverra zibetha)

Large-spotted civet (V. megaspila)

Malayan civet (V. tangalunga)
