Bassariscus
Bassariscus is a genus in the family Procyonidae. There are two species in the genus: the ringtail or ring-tailed cat (B. astutus) and the cacomistle (B. sumichrasti). Genetic studies have suggested that the closest relatives of Bassariscus are raccoons.[1]
The genus was first described by Elliott Coues in 1887. He proposed the word "bassarisk" as the English term for animals in this genus.[2] Its habitat includes semi-arid areas in the southwestern United States,[3] as well as moist tropical forests in Central America.
