Abstract Species-group epithet for the steppe polecat is variously spelled eversmanii or eversmanni . This inconsistency violates one of fundamental principles zoological nomenclature that each taxon has a single and unique valid name which presumes also consistent spelling. I demonstrate original spelling from 1827 incorrect was validly emended to in 1828. The accepted by mammalogical community widely used over century. disrupted after 1950 led current nomenclatural inconsistency. A Mustela Lesson, 1827.
