 Comments
       
  Comment: It is apparent that when publishing this name Hodgson treated Lutra as masculine, based on the species epithets he used (monticolus, indigitatus, 'auro-brunneus'). Nevertheless, Lutra is feminine, and the names must be adjusted accordingly (additionally, there is a question of whether the epithet monticola should ever be declined as -us or -um, but that would not change the conclusion here to use Lutra monticola), as in Ellerman & Morrison-Scott (1951 & 1966: 277)
