[Mustela] pennanti Erxleben 1777 View in CoL , Systema Regni Animalis, Vol. 1: 470.
Type Locality: "in America boreali, vulgaris victitans quadrupedibus minoribus." Listed by Miller and Rehm (1901) as "Eastern Canada." .
Vernacular Names: Fisher.
Subspecies: :
Subspecies Martes pennanti subsp. pennanti Erxleben 1777
Subspecies Martes pennanti subsp. columbiana Goldman 1935
Subspecies Martes pennanti subsp. pacifica Rhoads 1898
Distribution: Canada (Yukon to E Quebec), USA (Sierra Nevadas, N Rocky Mtns; Minnesota, N Wisconsin, Michigan upper peninsula, New York, Maine).

Discussion: Reviewed by Powell (1981); Goldman (1935) recognized three subspecies; Hagmeier (1961) concluded that subspecies could not be recognized. Synonyms allocated according to Hall (1981) and Powell (1981). Stone and Cook (2002) placed it in the subgenus Pekania Gray, 1865 , and suggested that pennanti and Gulo gulo may form a monophyletic group, which would make Martes paraphyletic.
