• As of 2005, MSW3 recognises 13 subspecies, though genetic studies published in 2015 revealed that six supposed golden jackal subspecies living in Africa were members of a separate species, " Canis anthus ", reducing the number of actual golden jackal subspecies to seven.
• Studies on mitochondrial genome sequences and whole genome nuclear sequences of African and Eurasian golden jackals showed that that the African specimens represented a distinct monophyletic lineage that should be recognized as a separate species, " Canis anthus " ( African golden wolf ), and that any superficial similarity between the two was due to parallel evolution.
• It was previously classified as an African variant of the Eurasian golden jackal, with at least one subspecies ( " Canis anthus lupaster " ) having been classified as a nuclear genome demonstrated that it was in fact distinct from both the golden jackal and the grey wolf, and more closely related to grey wolves and coyotes.
