Mustelidae

Five mustelid species are definitely known to occur in the Yavarí-Ucayali interfluve, including three terrestrial species and two otters. The terrestrial species—tayra ( Eira barbara ), grison ( Galictis vittata ), and Amazonian weasel ( Mustela africana )—were formerly classified in the subfamily Mustelinae , but Mustelinae (sensu lato) is now known to be paraphyletic (Koepfli et al., 2008; Sato et al., 2012). In the alternative subfamilial classification suggested by Nascimento (2014), the tayra would be referred to the subfamily Guloninae , the grison to the subfamily Ictonychinae , and the Amazonian weasel to the subfamily Mustelinae (sensu stricto). Otters remain in their traditional subfamily, Lutrinae (below).
