COMMENTS: Youngman (1982) placed sibirica in the subgenus Lutreola. Ognev (1935) considered altaica and sibirica closely related. 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).
