Treatment

Microtus daghestanicus (Shidlovskii, 1919) . Raboty Zemskoi Opytnoi Stantsi, 2:12.

TYPE LOCALITY: Russia, Daghestan, Caucasus Mtns, Karda .

DISTRIBUTION: Caucasus Mtns, S Daghestan.

SYNONYMS: intermedius , suramensis.

COMMENTS: Subgenus Terricola , subterraneus species group sensu Zagorodnyuk (1990) . Included in Pitymys subterraneus by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) and in P. majori by Corbet (1978c). However, Kratochvil and Krâl (1974) and Baskevich et al. (1984) provided evidence supporting daghestanicus as a separate species, a view endorsed by Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987). Zima and Krâl (1984 «) and Achverdjan et al. (1992) reviewed chromosomal information. Corbet (1978c) discussed the status of the replacement name suramensis.
