SPECIES Mustela lutreolina
Author: | Robinson and Thomas, 1917. | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 20: 261-262. | Common Name: | Indonesian Mountain Weasel | Type Locality: | "Tjibodas, West Java, 5500' [1676 m]"; identified by Van Bree and Boeadi (1978) as "6°44'S 107°00'E". | Distribution: | Indonesia (Java, Sumatra). | Status: | IUCN – Endangered. | Comments: | Revised by Van Bree and Boeadi (1978). Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) implied, and Heptner et al. (1967), Corbet (1978), and Lekagul and McNeely (1988) believed lutreolina and sibirica to be conspecific; however this has not been supported by primary studies (Brongersma, 1940; Van Bree and Boeadi, 1978). Youngman (1982) placed lutreolina in the subgenus Lutreola, Abramov (1999) placed it in the subgenus Kolonokus. |
