List of extant subspecies
Living subspecies recognized by MSW3 as of 2005 and divided into Old World and New World

Eurasia and Australasia
Sokolov and Rossolimo (1985) recognised nine Old World subspecies of wolf. These were C. I. lupus, C. I. albus, C. I. cubanensis, C. I. campestris, C. I. chanco, C. I. desortorum, C. I. hattai, and C. I. hodophilax. In his 1995 statistical analysis of skull morphometrics, mammalogist Robert Nowak recognised the first four of those subspecies, synonymized campestris, chanco and desortorum with C. I. Lupus, but did not examine the two Japanese subspecies. In addition,, he recognized C. I. communis as A subspecies distinct from C. I. Lupus. In 2003, Nowak also recognized the distinctiveness of C. I. arabs, C. I. hattai, C. I. italicus, and C. I. hodophilax. In 2005, MSW3 included C. I. filchneri. In 2003, two forms were distinguished in southern China and Inner Mongolian as being separate from C. I. chanco and C. I. filchneri and have yet to be named
