EUROPEAN POLECAT SUBSPECIES
Well, for prEcising that I'd said in the last issue about old polecat's
subspecies admited, I can cited 2 exemples...
As I'd seen on the synthesis of Pierre Delattre and Martine Roger (1988),
in the XX[deg] there was not agreement between the authors about
subspecies of European Polecat.
In the beginning of the century, according to Barret-Hamilton (1904)
there was 3 subspecies:
- Mustela p. putorius (Linnaeus 1766), in north Europe
- Mustela p. aureola (Barret-Hamilton 1904), in south Europe
(specimen-type in Spain)
- Mustela p. manium (Barret-Hamilton 1904), in Alpes mountains
(specimen-type in Swiss)
Then, in the second part of the century and after several decades of East
countries publications, Heptner and Naumov resumes in 1974 the existence
of 7 subspecies (in chronogical order) :
- Mustela p. furo (Linnaeus1758), in west Europe
- Mustela p. stantschinskii (Melander, 1926), in west Russia
- Mustela p. orientalis (Brauner 1929), in Ukrania
- Mustela p. rothschildi (Pocock 1932), in Roumania
- Mustela p. piriformis (Kostron 1948), in TchEcoslovaquia
- Mustela p. ognevi (Kratochvil 1952), in central Russia
- Mustela p. mosquensis (Heptner 1965), in central Russia
