TYPE SPECIES: [Mwste/«] Putorius Linnaeus, 1758 View in CoL .

SYNONYMS: Grammogale Cabrera, 1940 ; Lutreola Wagner, 1841 ; Putorius Cuvier, 1817 ; Vison Gray, 1843 .

COMMENTS: Revised by Hall (1951) and Youngman (1982). Youngman (1982) recognized 5 subgenera: Putorius ( putorius , eversmannii , nigripes ); Lutreola ( lutreola , sibirica , nudipes , lutreolina , and perhaps strigidorsa ); Mustela ( erminea , nivalis , altaica , frenata ); Vison ( vison ); and Grammogaie ( africana , felipei ). Some have chosen to elevate these groupings to generic status; because of the lack of any comprehensive phylogenetic approach to this problem, they are provisionally recognized here as valid subgenera.
