Taxonomic remark Authorship is Meyer, 1793 (refer ICZN Official List) although has previously been incorrectly cited in ITIS and Catalogue of Life (to 2018) as Blumenbach, 1780. This species (the dingo) is presently treated in IRMNG as a subspecies of the wolf, Canis lupus following ITIS, 2018 version, which is based on Wilson & Reeder, Mammal Species of the World (2005 edition), although in other sources it is alternatively treated as a subspecies of the domestic dog (Canis familiaris dingo: e.g. Déaux et al. 2016), as a race or breed of domestic dog (Canis familiaris, no subspecies: Australian Faunal Directory, 2018), or as a full species (Canis dingo: Crowther et al., 2014), according to the authors' preferences.
