Indeed; the following quote from the last paper linked sums it up well:

It also became apparent that the genus Canis is a paraphyletic group, with the genera Lycaon (African wild dog) and Cuon (dhole) being more closely related to the wolf clade sensu lato (C. lupus including C. lupaster African golden wolf, C. latrans Coyote, C. simensis Ethiopian wolf, C. aureus golden jackal and C. familiaris dog) than the African black‐backed (C. mesomelas Schreber, 1775) and side‐striped (C. adustusSundevall, 1847) jackals (Lindblad‐Toh et al., 2005; Wayne & O'Brien, 1987). Because of this paraphyly, and as the two African jackal species fall significantly outside of the Canisclade, Viranta et al. (2017) re‐established the genus LupulellaHilzheimer, 1906, for these species.

The question of the nomenclature and definition of “lupaster”is far from being resolved as well as the question of whether Canis should encompass Lycaon, Cuon and Lupulella (Gippoliti & Groves, 2012; Gonzalez, 2012; Koepfli et al., 2015; Viranta et al., 2017). In this study, we adopted the provisional taxonomy as proposed by Geraads (2011), Dinets (2015) and Viranta et al. (2017), that is Lupulella as a genus for the African jackals and C. lupaster for the African golden wolf (for a discussion of the taxonomic implications, see Viranta et al., 2017).
 
I don't read Russian, either. There's an english translation button that provides the full English version, not just a google translate version.

Short-eared Dog (Atelocynus microtis)

The range of this species extends throughout north-central South America from southern Colombia and eastern Peru in the west, through northern Brazil to the Atlantic coast.

Monotypic.

There are no photographs of this taxon within the Zoochat gallery.
 
I have seen a Culpeo at Bioparque Amaru (a photo is in the gallery). As it is from Ecuador, it probably represents the subspecies reissii.
