COMMENTS: Manville (1966) demonstrated that macrodon is conspecific, although Kurtén and Anderson (1980) recognized it as a distinct species. Hall (1951), Heptner and Yurgenson (1967), and Hollister (1913a) considered vison closely related to lutreola, however analyses by Graphodatskii et al. (1976) and Youngman (1982) supported vison to be one of the earliest offshoots of the Mustela lineage. Youngman (1982) placed vison in the subgenus Vison.
