“…Wei et al ( 2021 ) added M. aistoodonnivalis as a valid species. San ( 2022 ) considered M. aistoodonnivalis to be equivalent to M. russelliana and probably more closely related to M. kathiah than M. nivalis . Thus, the status of M. aistoodonnivalis remains highly controversial.…”

The lacked‐teeth pygmy weasel, Mustela aistoodonnivalis Wu & Kao, 1991, was originally described as being from Taibai Mountain and Zhashui county, Shaanxi, China. Subsequently, it was considered a subspecies or synonym of Mustela nivalis. In a faunal survey of northwestern Sichuan, eight specimens of M. aistoodonnivalis were collected. A molecular phylogenetic analysis of one mitochondrial and six nuclear genes clustered the specimens as a distinct clade and not with M. nivalis. Morphologically, the lack of the second lower molar differentiated them from M. nivalis, and genetic distances were typical of discrete species. These analyses confirmed that M. aistoodonnivalis is an independent species in the genus Mustela.
