Species

Three species are currently recognised:[10][11]

Image Scientific name Common name Distribution
Aonyx capensis African clawless otter also known as the Cape clawless otter sub-Saharan Africa
Aonyx congicus Congo clawless otter, also known as the Cameroon clawless otter, and formerly considered a subspecies of the African clawless otter Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Rwanda, Uganda, and possibly Burundi and Nigeria
Aonyx cinereus Asian small-clawed otter, also known as the oriental small-clawed otter South and Southeast Asia

Zoologists differ as to whether or not to include the Asian small-clawed otter in this genus, or in its own genus Amblonyx.[12][13] They also differ as to whether the Congo clawless otter is a species, or is conspecific with the African clawless otter.[14][15]
