[edit] Taxonomy Phoberogale was named by Ginsberg and Morales in 1995. Its type species is Phoberogale bugtiensis Cooper, 1923. Phoberogale shareri was named after Kevin Sharer, Chairman of the Board of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County by Xiaoming Wang, Robert Hunt Jr, Richard Tedford and E. Bruce Lander in 2009.
