Javan Mongoose
The Javan mongoose (''Urva javanica'') is a mongoose species native to Southeast Asia. Taxonomy ''Ichneumon javanicus'' was the scientific name proposed by Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire in 1818. It was later classified in the genus ''Herpestes'', but all Asian mongooses are now thought to belong in the genus ''Urva''. In the 19th and 20th centuries, several zoological specimens were described, which are now considered subspecies: *''Herpestes exilis'' by Paul Gervais in 1841 was a specimen from Tourane in Vietnam. *''Herpestes rafflesii'' by John Anderson in 1875 was a specimen from Sumatra. *''Mungos rubifrons'' by Joel Asaph Allen in 1909 were eight adult specimens collected around Wuzhi Mountain in Hainan Island, China. *''Mungos exilis peninsulae'' by Ernst Schwarz in 1910 was a skin and a skull of a mongoose collected in Bangkok. *''Mungos siamensis'' by Cecil Boden Kloss in 1917 was a skin of an adult female mongoose collected in northern Thailand. *''Mungos parakensis'' ...

Taxonomy ''Mangusta auropunctata'' was the scientific name proposed by Brian Houghton Hodgson in 1836 for a mongoose specimen collected in central Nepal. It was later classified in the genus ''Herpestes'', but all Asian mongooses are now thought to belong in the genus ''Urva''. In the 19th and 20th centuries, several zoological specimens were described: *''Mangusta pallipes'' proposed by Edward Blyth in 1845 were mongooses observed in Kandahar, Afghanistan. *''Herpestes palustris'' proposed by R. K. Ghose in 1965 was an adult male mongoose collected in a swamp on the eastern fringe of Kolkata, India. The small Indian mongoose was once considered a subspecies of the Javan mongoose (''H. javanicus''). Genetic analysis of hair and tissue samples from 18 small Indian an ...
