Calomyscus hotsoni Thomas 1920 View in CoL , J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc., 26: 938.

Type Locality: SW Pakistan, W Balochistan, Makran Dist., Gwambuk Kaul, 50 km SW Panjgur (26º 30'N, 63º 50'E). GoogleMaps

Vernacular Names: Hotson's Calomyscus.

Distribution: Recorded from vicinity of type locality and Baluchistan Prov. of SE Iran (specimens in USNM); range extent unresolved.

Conservation: IUCN – Endangered.

Discussion: A smaller-bodied Calomyscus (Vorontsov et al., 1979) that was described as a species but later arranged as a subspecies of C. bailwardi , including mystax as a synonym ( Corbet, 1978 c; Ellerman, 1941, 1961; Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951). Based on size, C. hotsoni is allied with C. mystax and C. elburzensis of S Turkmenistan, NW Afghanistan, and NE Iraq, not with the larger-bodied C. baluchi that occurs to the north in W Pakistan. Affinities of C. hotsoni uncertain and karyotype undocumented.
