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

Type Locality: "Tjibodas, West Java, 5500' [1676 m]"; identified by Van Bree and Boeadi (1978) as " 6°44'S 107°00'E ".

Vernacular Names: Indonesian Mountain Weasel.

Distribution: Indonesia (Java, Sumatra).

Conservation: IUCN – Endangered.

Discussion: 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 .
