犬屬(學名:Canis)是食肉目犬科下的一個屬,共有5個現生種,包括被認為是家犬(Canis lupus familiaris)祖先的灰狼(Canis lupus)。與犬屬較近的屬是非洲野犬屬,而較遠的則有偽狐屬和其他的南美胡狼。犬屬中還有許多已經滅絕的物種,這是一個很古老的屬,可追溯至中新世晚期。
物種
犬屬現生成員包括5個物種,即埃塞俄比亞狼(Canis simensis)、亞洲胡狼(Canis aureus)[1]、金狼(Canis lupaster)、郊狼(Canis latrans)和灰狼(Canis lupus)[2]。犬屬曾經還包括側紋胡狼(Canis adustus)和黑背胡狼(Canis mesomelas),但現在已經根據遺傳學上的證據將它們歸入胡狼屬(Lupulella)。而發現的各種大型犬族化石則一般全部都歸入犬屬。[3]
史前物種
犬屬是第四紀的標誌屬,在食肉類化石中數量往往非常多。犬屬也是生物地層學重要的標誌物種,歐洲有多個遷徙事件就是以一些大型犬族的出現作為標誌。[3]
