Hog-badgers (mustelid carnivorans classified in the genus ) are distributed throughout East and Southeast Asia, including much of China, the eastern Indian Subcontinent, Indochina and the large continental Asian island of Sumatra. is usually regarded as monotypic, comprising the single species . F. Cuvier, 1825, but taxonomic boundaries in the genus have never been revised on the basis of sizeable series from throughout this geographical range. Based on a review of most available specimens in world museums, we recognize three distinctive species within the genus, based on craniometric analyses, qualitative craniodental features, external comparisons, and geographical and ecological considerations. (Blyth, 1853) is a shaggy-coated, medium-sized badger widely distributed in temperate Asia, from Tibet and the Himalayan region to eastern and southern China. F. Cuvier, 1825, is an extremely large, shorter-haired badger, distributed throughout Southeast Asia, from eastern India to Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. The world's largest extant badger, . co-occurs with . in eastern India and probably in southern China, and fossil comparisons indicate that its geographical range may have extended into central China in the middle Pleistocene. The disjunctly distributed species (Hubrecht, 1891), originally described within the order 'Edentata' by a remarkable misunderstanding, is the smallest and darkest member of the genus and is endemic to the Barisan mountain chain of Sumatra. Apart from . , no other occurs on the Sunda Shelf below peninsular Thailand. The natural history of each species of , so far as is known, is briefly reviewed.

猪獾（鼬科食肉动物，分类于猪獾属）分布于东亚和东南亚各地，包括中国大部分地区、印度次大陆东部、中南半岛以及亚洲大陆的大岛苏门答腊岛。猪獾属通常被视为单型属，仅包含单一物种猪獾（F. Cuvier，1825年），但该属的分类界限从未基于来自这一地理范围内的大量样本进行修订。基于对世界各博物馆中大多数现有标本的研究，我们通过颅骨测量分析、颅骨齿质特征定性、外部比较以及地理和生态因素考量，确认该属内有三个不同的物种。猪獾（Blyth，1853年）是一种毛发蓬松的中型獾，广泛分布于亚洲温带地区，从西藏和喜马拉雅地区到中国东部和南部。大猪獾（F. Cuvier，1825年）是一种体型极大、毛发较短的獾，分布于东南亚各地，从印度东部到缅甸、泰国、越南、柬埔寨和老挝。世界上现存最大的獾——鼬獾，与大猪獾在印度东部共同出现，在中国南部可能也有共存，化石比较表明其地理范围在中更新世可能延伸至中国中部。分布零散的物种苏门猪獾（Hubrecht，1891年）最初因严重误解被归入“贫齿目”，是该属中最小且毛色最深的成员，为苏门答腊巴里桑山脉所特有。除了苏门猪獾，在泰国半岛以下的巽他陆架上没有其他猪獾属物种。据目前所知，对猪獾属每个物种的自然史进行了简要回顾。不主张美国政府原作版权。
