Talk:Lutra

According to Wikispecies (http://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Lutra) there is a third species of Lutra, Lutra maculicollis, but this page only mention two species. What is correct? Vidarfe 05:21, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Lutra

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Lutra's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "World":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 16:49, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Mustelidae (family) Lutra (genus) Annocterus (species) - Common names: Nutria, Perro de Agua

What about the nicaraguan Lutra? had it been misclassified on no one bothered including it in their charts for Wikipedia?

These guys included it in their study of nicaraguan species in Rivas, Cocibolca Lake: https://antharky.ucalgary.ca/mccafferty/sites/antharky.ucalgary.ca.mccafferty/files/Lopez_Forment_2008_0.pdf

Also someone took a picture of one in Lago Cocibolca Lake: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=533765488963305&set=pcb.533765562296631&__cft__[0]=AZXgilsWOJh0op9E83BypGqqBOvFNh5XHb_oa2Hb_cr6BkdMN0u8GnqsSkq9ZSfJIn1vbPWk6OrYJ71PgXJcKuX72uMg_ywcjNYZI02QwPTWZ6TTDx_NzAVRY6Ib09R7ymyJfael3fAxZQ-e1o5quX3wPhrl8qGEhb2CcVrUtSI0gHXRBIb-qU652RVoEk-9xHJ075259Haop79L8C9xwhAZ&__tn__=*bH-y-R Iltstudent (talk) 23:13, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Should Aonyx, Amblonyx, and Lutrogale be considered subgenera of Lutra?

The current problem is that Aonyx is clearly a paraphyletic group that includes Lutrogale. Several solutions have been proposed regarding this. There is a propopal that Aonyx and Lutrogale be merged to Lutra as subgenus. Ferran et al. (2022)↓ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982222009952 MDD has already adopted this. For example↓ https://www.mammaldiversity.org/taxon/1005840/ (treated as "Lutra cinerea") Looking at the talk pages for other articles, there seem to be some dissenting opinions, but several years have already passed. (Please also refer to the discussions from several years ago on the talk pages of Lutrinae, Aonyx, Lutrogale, Asian small-clawed otter, etc.) Do you think editing should be done according to this? コロネン (talk) 01:47, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
