Salanoia is a genus of euplerid carnivoran with two currently described species found in Madagascar.[1] They are mongoose-like, which is reflected in the older versions of their English names, for example brown-tailed mongoose which is now called brown-tailed vontsira.[2] The name Salanoia is derived from salano, one of the vernacular names for Salanoia concolor.[2]
In 2010, the two described members of the genus were referred to by the common name vontsira in announcements of the discovery of Durrell's vontsira.[3] Vontsira is a Malagasy vernacular name that seems to apply to a few local species of local mongoose-like carnivores in the related genera Salanoia, Galidia, and Galidictis.[2]
