A case is made that the American mink (<em>Neovison vison</em>) and three allied species (<em>Mustela frenata</em>, <em>M. felipei</em>, and <em>M. africana</em>) should now be recognized in the genus <em>Neogale</em> Gray, 1865. The ages and morphological disparities of both <em>Neogale </em>and <em>Mustela </em>sensu stricto indicate that both are in need of comprehensive revisions.</span></span></div> </div> <div class="yw_text_small" > <strong>Keywords: </strong> <a href='search.php?sid=1&slc_lang=en&srchterm=Classification'>Classification</a>, <a href='search.php?sid=1&slc_lang=en&srchterm=Mammalia'>Mammalia</a>, <a href='search.php?sid=1&slc_lang=en&srchterm=phylogeny'>phylogeny</a>, <a href='search.php?sid=1&slc_lang=en&srchterm=synonymy'>synonymy</a>, <a href='search.php?sid=1&slc_lang=en&srchterm=taxonomy'>taxonomy</a> </div> <div class="yw_text_small" dir="ltr" > <a href="./article-1-132-en.pdf" > <span class="abstract_title" dir="ltr" ><strong>Full-Text<span dir=ltr> [PDF 612 kb]</span> </strong> </span> </a> <a href="" target="_blank"> <strong></strong></a> <a href="" target="_blank"> </a>   <span class="persian"><span dir=ltr> (6676 Downloads)</span> </span> <strong></strong>  <strong></strong>  </div> <div style="vertical-align:middle" class="yw_text_small abstract" dir="ltr" > Type of Study: <a href='search.php?sid=1&slc_lang=en&atcl=1&type=14'>Review Article</a> | Subject: <a href='search.php?sid=1&slc_lang=en&atcl=1&abst_subject=921'>Species Diversity</a> <br>Received: 2021/03/10 | Accepted: 2021/03/23 | Published: 2021/04/14 </div> <div class="yw_text_small" > </div> <hr> <div class="yw_text" > <div class="yw_text_small" > <strong>References</strong> </div> <div class="yw_text_small articles_ref" > <div class='text_med' dir='ltr'>1.
