Résumé

This chapter provides an authoritative account of the phylogeny and taxonomy of fossil and extant pangolins. Historical discrepancies around the taxonomy of pangolins are discussed, notably in terms of infraordinal classification, while the respective merits of morphological and molecular analyses to solve the phylogenetic relationships among pangolins are addressed. Additionally, the contribution of DNA-based phylogeographic analyses in revealing cryptic diversity within wide-ranging species is reviewed, and a biogeographic scenario for the diversification of extant pangolins is proposed. Finally, the chapter presents an updated, synthetic classification of extant pangolins.
