根据新的地理资料和广泛的野外调查，对埃及犬属哺乳动物的分类关系进行了重新评估。三种在几个形态和生态特征上明显不同的种被识别。尼罗河流域的大型犬科动物，通常被命名为Canis aureus lupaster，与Canis aureus有很大的不同，值得作为一个单独的物种使用它的原名Canis lupaster。根据形态、生态和生物地理证据，在埃及发现了犬属的两个亚种。标称亚种生活在第一次尼罗河大瀑布以北的埃及尼罗河流域，而羽扇豆象则生活在埃及尼罗河流域。位于努比亚的尼罗河流域，位于第一大瀑布以南。金丝雀由两个亚种代表，一种是东西奈半岛的金丝雀亚种，另一种是埃及西部沙漠北部极度干旱地区的一种非常小的胡狼。后者与已知的金色隐翅虫亚种完全不同，值得单独的亚种地位，在此被描述为Canis aureus qattarensis SSP。11月-在西奈半岛，新材料首次显示了狼的发生，犬狼疮。这只狼看起来和阿拉伯半岛的犬狼疮阿拉伯人一模一样。提出了犬属埃及种的鉴定检索表。
The taxonomic relations of mammals of the genus Canis in Egypt are reassessed on the basis of new, geographically comprehensive material and extensive field survey. Three species that markedly differ in several morphological and ecological characters are recognized. The large canid of the Nile Valley, which has been generally designated Canis aureus lupaster, is sufficiently different from Canis aureus to merit treatment as a separate species under its original name Canis lupaster. Two subspecies of Canis lupaster are recognized in Egypt based on morphological, ecological and biogeographic evidence. The nominal subspecies inhabits the Egyptian Nile Valley north of the First Nile Cataract, while C. lupaster doederleini n. comb. occupies the Nile Valley in Nubia, south of the First Cataract. Canis aureus is represented by two subspecies, Canis aureus syriacus in eastern Sinai and a very small jackal in the hyperarid, northern region of the Egyptian Western Desert. The latter is sufficiently different from known C. aureus subspecies to deserve a separate subspecific status and is herein described as Canis aureus qattarensis ssp. nov. In the Sinai Peninsula, new material shows for the first time the occurrence of the Wolf, Canis lupus. This wolf appears identical with Canis lupus arabs of the Arabian Peninsula. An identification key of Egyptian species of the genus Canis is presented.
