SYNONYMS: <i>asaii</i> Kuroda, 1943; <i>australis</i> Satunin, 1911; <i>canigula</i> Hodgson, 1842; <i>charbinensis</i> Lowkashkin, 1934; <i>coreanus</i> Domaniewski, 1926; <i>davidianus</i> Milne-Edwards, 1872; <i>fontainierii</i> Milne-Edwards, 1871; <i>hamptoni</i> Thomas, 1921; <i>hodgsoni</i> Gray, 1843; <i>horsfieldii</i> Blyth, 1843; <i>humeralis</i> Blyth, 1842; <i>itatsi</i> Temminck, 1844; <i>katsurai</i> Kishida, 1931; <i>major</i> Hilzheimer, 1910; <i>manchurica</i> Brass, 1911; <i>melli</i> Matschie, 1922; <i>miles</i> Barrett-Hamilton, 1904; <i>moupinensis</i> Milne-Edwards, 1868; <i>natsi</i> Temminck, 1844; <i>noctis</i> Barrett-Hamilton, 1904; <i>peninsulae</i> Kishida, 1931; <i>quelpartis</i> Thomas, 1908; <i>sho</i> Kuroda, 1924; <i>sibirica</i> Pallas, 1773; <i>stegmanni</i> Matschie, 1907; <i>subhemachalanus</i> Hodgson, 1837; <i>tafeli</i> Hilzheimer, 1910; <i>taivana</i> Thomas, 1913. COMMENTS: Youngman (1982) placed <i>sibirica</i> in the subgenus <i>Lutreola.</i> Ognev (1935) considered <i>altaica</i> and <i>sibirica</i> closely related. Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1966) implied, and Novikov (1956) and Corbet (1978c) believed <i>lutreolina</i> and <i>sibirica</i> conspecific; however this has not been supported by primary studies (Van Bree and Boeadi, 1978).
