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:
| Image | Name | Distribution |
|---|---|---|
 |
Angolan slender mongoose G. flavescens | Angola and Namibia |
 |
Somalian slender mongoose G. ochracea | Somalia |
 |
Cape gray mongoose G. pulverulenta (Wagner, 1839) | South Africa, Lesotho and southern Namibia |
 |
Slender mongoose Galerella sanguinea | sub-Saharan Africa |
 |
Black mongoose G. nigrata | Angola and Namibia |
A recent addition is the black mongoose G. nigrata, which now is considered a separate species by many scientists, following genetic analysis. It was previously seen as a variant of Galerella sanguinea.
