Chionomys gud Satunin 1909 View in CoL , Izv. Kavkas. Mus ., 4: 272.

Type Locality: Georgia, Caucasus Mtns, Gudaur, near Krestovskii Pass.

Vernacular Names: Gudaur Snow Vole.

Synonyms: Chionomys gotschobi (Shidlovsky 1919) ; Chionomys ighesicus ( Ellerman and Morrison-Scott 1951) ; Chionomys lasistanius (Neuhäuser 1936) ; Chionomys lghesicus (Shidlovsky 1919) ; Chionomys lucidus (Shidlovsky 1919) ; Chionomys nenjukovi Formosov 1931 ; Chionomys oseticus (Shidlovsky 1919) .

Distribution: Caucasus in Russia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan, and the E Black Sea Mtns of NE Turkey.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) and Corbet (1978 c) listed gotschobi and lghesicus as synonyms of nivalis , but Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987, 1998) and Pavlinov et al. (1995 a) included them in C. gud . Dental traits indicate a closer relationship to C. roberti than to C. nivalis (Nadachowski, 1991) . In Turkey, the species has been collected at the same localities as C. nivalis but prefers more mesic habitats (Kryštufek, 1999 c).
