Mustela lutreolina Robinson and Thomas, 1917 . Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 20:261 -262.

TYPE LOCALITY: "Tjibodas, West Java, 5500'"; identified by Van Bree and Boeadi (1978) as " 6°44'S 107°00'E " .

DISTRIBUTION: Indonesia (Java, Sumatra).

STATUS: IUCN - Insufficiently known.

COMMENTS: Revised by Van Bree and Boeadi (1978). Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1966) implied, and Novikov (1956) and Corbet (1978c) believed lutreolina and sibirica conspecific; however this has not been supported by primary studies (Van Bree and Boeadi, 1978). Youngman (1982) placed lutreolina in the subgenus Lutreola .
