  abstract = {{W}e built an interactive identification key ({IIK}) to provide a user-friendly tool for the problematic identification of the {G}enettinae species ({G}enetta spp. and {P}oiana spp.) using {X}per(2), a knowledge platform dedicated to taxonomic description and identification. {A} total of 45 qualitative characters were described after the observation of > 4500 specimens, representing 19 species. {A}ssessing among-species discrimination efficiency per character partition and character, we were able to establish a list of 13 characters from skull and coat likely to optimize species identification among {G}enettinae. {G}enetta maculata and {G}. "letabae", which belong to the large-spotted genet complex, was the only species pair that could not be distinguished. {T}he {IIK} of {G}enettinae we propose herein (http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/apps/xper/data/genettes/web/) may be used to assist regular-basis update of distribution ranges, a needed effort for several poorly known species of high conservation concern.},
