Taxonomy
Manis (Phataginus) was named by Rafinesque (1821) [original rank as a subgenus is certain, but date is unclear as the actual volume's date is given as 1820 but later authors cite it as 1821]. It is extant.

It was reranked as Phataginus by Kondrashov and Agadjanian (2012), Alba et al. (2018).

It was assigned to Manis by Rafinesque (1820), Rahm (1956); to Manidae by Kondrashov and Agadjanian (2012); and to Smutsiinae by Alba et al. (2018).
