SPECIES Ellobius (Ellobius) tancrei
| Author: | Blasius, 1884. | | Citation: | Zool. Anz., 7: 197. | | Common Name: | Eastern Mole Vole | | Type Locality: | Kazakhstan, Zaysan Lake Valley, Kendyrlik (= Przevalskoie). | | Distribution: | E Turkmenistan (Yakimenko and Lyapunova, 1986; Marochkina, 1996) and Uzbekistan, east through E Kazakhstan, to Mongolia and adjacent China in NW Xinjiang, Nei Mongol, N Shaanxi, N Gansu, and Ningxia (Zhang et al., 1997, as E. talpinus). | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Corbet (1978c) included tancrei in E. talpinus, but the former is morphologically and chromosomally distinct and its geographic range is allopatric to that of E. talpinus (see Corbet, 1984; Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1987; Yakimenko and Lyapunova, 1986). Chromosomal contrasts with E. talpinus reported by Yakimenko and Lyapunova (1986) and with E. alaicus by Lyapunova et al. (1990). This species has a 2n = 32-54, with an XX sex chromosome combination in both males and females, and like E. lutescens, has lost its Y chromosome (Just et al., 1995; Vogel, 1998). |
