Eupleridae is a family of carnivorans endemic to Madagascar and comprising 10 known living species in seven genera, commonly known as euplerids, Malagasy mongooses or Malagasy carnivorans. The best known species is the fossa ( Cryptoprocta ferox ), in the subfamily Euplerinae .
The fossa was formally described by Edward Turner Bennett on the basis of a specimen from Madagascar sent by Charles Telfair in 1833. [8] The common name is the same as the generic name of the Malagasy civet (Fossa fossana), but they are different species.
