Salpingotus crassicauda Vinogradov, 1924 View in CoL . Zool. Anz., 61:150.

TYPE LOCALITY: China, N Xinjiang, Altai Gobi, near Schara-sumé (Sharasume), approx. 160km S Russia-Mongolian border. Most authors list the type locality as being located in W Mongolia, but it is actually in N Xinjiang, China ( Bannikov, 1954) .

DISTRIBUTION: Steppes and deserts of NW China ( Chen and Wang, 1985; Ma et al., 1987; and Zheng and Zhang, 1990), S and SW Mongolia ( Sokolov and Shenbrot, 1988), and adjacent E Kazakhstan in Lake Zaysan basin ( Naumov and Lobachev, 1975; Vorontsov and Shenbrot, 1984; Vorontsov et al., 1969a).

SYNONYMS: gobicus Sokolov and Shenbrot, 1988.

COMMENTS: Subgenus Anguistodontus . Populations S of Lake Balkhash and N of Aral Sea previously included in S. crassicauda now recognized as a distinct species, S. pallidus . Detailed habitat data given by Naumov and Lobachev (1975). Reviewed by Ognev (1963b). Taxonomic study of Mongolia and Zaysan Basin populations provided by Sokolov and Shenbrot (1988). Karyotype provided by Vorontsov et al. (1969d).
