  • February 14, 2024 | Fascinatingly, this article does not seem to recognize the genus Phataginus or Smutsia, and piles all pangolin species under the genus Manis, which is why it's up here and not under Manis.

To note: Several ~1700s and ~1800s authors refer to the pangolin genera as "pangolinus," "paramanis," "phatages," or "pholidotus."
