| Author: | Peshev, 1991. | | Citation: | Mammalia, 55: 112. | | Common Name: | Syrian Calomyscus | | Type Locality: | Syria, Thafas, 18 km NW Derra (= Der’a). | | Distribution: | SW Syria; limits unknown. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (nt). | | Comments: | Described as a subspecies of C. bailwardi, but its small size and short tail clearly distinguish C. tsolovi from any other recognized species; such a possibility was even suggested by Peshev (1991:112). Phylogenetic affinities unstudied. |
