GENUS Pygeretmus
| Author: | Gloger, 1841. | | Citation: | Gemeinn. Hand. Hilfsbuch. Nat., 1: 106. | | Type Species: | Dipus platurus Lichtenstein, 1823 (emended to D. platyurus by Lichtenstein, 1828). | | Comments: | Vorontsov et al. (1969b) found no distinguishing karyological characters between subgenera Alactagulus and Pygeretmus; in the same study, karyotypes and morphometric comparisons of subgenus Pygeretmus were provided. Shenbrot's (1984) subgeneric classification is followed below. Gromov and Erbajeva (1995) recognized Alactagulus as a separate genus, and Kowalski (2001) used Pliopygerethmus, but both are considered synonyms of Pygeretmus (Heptner, 1984; Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1987; Shenbrot, 1984; Zazhigin and Lopatin, 2000c). Generic review and distribution provided by Shenbrot et al. (1995). For synonyms see McKenna and Bell (1997) and Zazhigin and Lopatin (2000c). |
