Galerella is a genus of the mongoose family (Herpestidae) native to Africa and commonly called the slender mongooses.
There are four or five species in this genus, with more than 30 subspecies.
Four of the species have long been established:
- Angolan slender mongoose, Galerella flavescens
- Somalian slender mongoose, Galerella ochracea
- Cape gray mongoose, Galerella pulverulenta
- Slender mongoose, Galerella sanguinea
A recent addition is the black mongoose, Galerella nigrata, which now is considered a separate species by many scientists, following genetic analysis. It was previously seen as a variant of Galerella sanguinea.
