Taxonomy[edit]
The taxonomy of Carnivora in general and Canidae in particular correlates with various diagnostic features of thedentitionandbasicranium.Regarding Vulpini, Tedford has remarked:
These small canids are distinguished from all other Caninae in possessing a wide paroccipital process that is broadly sutured to the posterior surface of thebullawith a short and laterally turned free tip that barely extends below the body of the process. The presence of a metaconule and postprotocrista onM2of vulpines represents the culmination of a reversal that began with lateLeptocyonspecies to resume the form of the primitive canine M2.
The cladogram below is based on the phylogeny of Lindblad-Toh (2005)[3]modified to incorporate recent findings onVulpes.[4]
