Discussion: Pocock (1936 a) and Baryshnikov and Abramov (1997, 1998) separated flavigula from other Martes and placed in the genus Lamprogale based on bacular morphology. Rozhnov (1995) separated the subspecies henrici , hainana, and peninsularis into M. lasiotis . Allocated according to Pocock (1936 a), Chasen (1940), Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951), and Rozhnov (1995). Stone and Cook (2002) supported placing in the subgenus Charronia Gray, 1865 .
