Calomyscus urartensis Vorontsov and Kartavseva 1979 View in CoL

Calomyscus urartensis Vorontsov and Kartavseva 1979 View in CoL , Zool. Zh., 58: 1218.

Type Locality: Azerbaijan, Nakhichevanskaya., Alindzhachai River, 7 km N Dzhul'fa.

Vernacular Names: Urar Calomyscus.

Distribution: Extreme S Transcaucasus ( Azerbaijan), far NW Iran (NW Azarbaijan Prov., specimens in FMNH).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Calomyscus urartensis (2n = 32, FN = 42; Graphodatsky et al., 2000) is morphologically similar to C. mystax (2n = 44, FN = 46) and C. elburzensis (Vorontsov et al., 1979, and material in FMNH). Meyer and Malikov (1995) cited hybridization results in addition to chromosomal distinctions to support the status of C. urartensis and C. mystax as separate species. The morphological integrity of C. urartensis and our identification of the species in NW Iran are corroborated by multivariate analysis of cranial and dental measurements ( Lebedev et al., 1998).
