Stylodipus sungorus Sokolov and Shenbrot 1987 View in CoL

Stylodipus sungorus Sokolov and Shenbrot 1987 View in CoL , Zool. Zh., 66 (4): 580.

Type Locality: SW Mongolia, Altai Gobi, north slope Takhin-Shara-Nuru (Tahiyn-Shar-Nuruu) range, 15 km E Tsargin.

Vernacular Names: Mongolian Three-toed Jerboa.

Distribution: SW Mongolia, possibly Xinjiang, China (see Sokolov and Shenbrot, 1987 b:585).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: On the basis of the length and breadth of the molar row, size of auditory bullae, and phallic characters ( Sokolov and Shenbrot, 1987 b), S. sungorus appears to be distinct from S. telum . Relationship and distribution relative to S. andrewsi and S. telum is unclear and needs further study (see Sokolov and Shenbrot, 1987 b). See comment under S. andrewsi .
