SPECIES Blanfordimys bucharensis
| Author: | Vinogradov, 1930. | | Citation: | Rukovodstvok opredeleniyu gryzunov Srednei Azii [Key to Determine Rodents of Central Asia]: 45. | | Common Name: | Bucharian Vole | | Type Locality: | Tajikistan, Zeravshan Range, 8 km S Pendzhikent, near village of Zivan, 2200 m. | | Distribution: | Mountains of SW Tajikistan, possibly N Afghanistan; limits unresolved. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (nt). | | Comments: | Reviewed by Gromov and Erbajeva (1995). Ellerman (1941) listed bucharensis as species, but it is usually included in afghanus (Corbet, 1978c; Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951; Ognev, 1964; Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1987). Morphometric analyses and chromosomal complement (2n = 48, FN = 52) indicate that bucharensis is distinct, with two morphological and geographical components, one newly described as the subspecies davydovi (Golenishchev and Sablina, 1991). See Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987:195) for use of bucharensis instead of bucharicus. |
