Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Manidae ("spirits") is the only extant family of pangolins.[1] This family comprises three genera (Manis from subfamily Maninae, Phataginus from subfamily Phatagininae, and Smutsia from subfamily Smutsiinae),[2][3] as well as the extinct Fayum pangolin.[4]
Classification and phylogeny
History of classification
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.[1][5]
