The ferret-badger was first described from Cuc Phuong National Park in Vietnam, with no subsequent reports in later years. During our surveys of the Wuyishan Mountains of Fujian Province in southeastern China during May 2018, a specimen was identified. Analysis based on pelage and skull characteristics as well as molecular data indicated it to be a new subspecies, which we nominated as . This is the first record of the species in China. Therefore, this research not only expands the distribution range of the species beyond Vietnam, but also indicates that geographic variation of the species should have been proceeding in southeastern China.
雪貂獾首次于越南的库布丰国家公园被描述，此后多年都没有再发现其踪迹。2018 年 5 月，我们对中国东南部的福建武夷山进行了调查，在此过程中发现了一个样本。基于皮毛和头骨特征以及分子数据的分析表明，这是一个新的亚种，我们将其命名为。这是该物种在中国的首次记录。因此，这项研究不仅将该物种的分布范围扩展到了越南以外，还表明该物种的地理变异在中国东南部一直在进行。
