Discussion: Although many have included Tscherskia in Cricetulus (G. M. Allen, 1940; Corbet, 1978 c; Corbet and Hill, 1992; Ellerman, 1941; Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951; Zhang et al., 1997), its distinctive morphology suggests distant relationship to the dwarf hamsters and generic segregation ( Carleton and Musser, 1984; Gromov and Erbajeva, 1995; Musser and Carleton, 1993; Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1987; Pavlinov et al., 1995 a). Oldest records date to Late Pliocene of Europe ( McKenna and Bell, 1997).
