Discussion: Tribe Otospermophilini ( Gromov et al., 1965) , Marmotini , or Ammospermophilini. Formerly included in Spermophilus ( Hershkovitz, 1949 b) ; Bryant (1945) considered Ammospermophilus a distinct genus. Recent sequence, biochemical and chromosomal data support Bryant's recognition of generic status and basal position among ground squirrels ( Harrison et al., 2003).
