Treatment

Jaculus turcmenicus Vinogradov and Bondar, 1949 View in CoL . Doklady Akad. Nauk S.S.S.R., Leningrad, 65:559.

TYPE LOCALITY: Turkmenskaya, Nebitdagskom Region, Tchagil sands, near S coast of Kara-Bogaz-Gol .

DISTRIBUTION: SE coast of Caspian Sea through Turkmenistan to the Kyzylkum Desert, C Uzbekistan; see Kuznetsov (1965).

SYNONYMS: margianus (see Shenbrot, 1990a).

COMMENTS: Heptner (1975) concluded that J. turcmenicus was conspecific with J. blanfordi , but the measurements given for the two species differ considerably, no tests of significance were performed, and only two specimens of J. blanfordi were included in the study. The two species are retained here, as in Shenbrot (1990a), pending critical revision. The presence of spines on the bacula of J. blanfordi and J. orientalis (figured by Didier and Petter, 1960), is shared by J. turcmenicus (figured in Heptner, 1975), suggesting that these three species may form a monophyletic group that excludes J. jaculus ; see also comment in Corbet (1978c) under J. blanfordi . Taxonomic study, distribution, and review provided by Shenbrot (1990a). Detailed habitat data provided by Naumov and Lobachev (1975). Morphology and habitat discussed in Stalmakova (1957). Karyotype provided by Vorontsov et al. (1969d).
