Species Lagurus lagurus (Pallas 1773)

Discussion: Lagurini. Closely related to Eolagurus , which together constitute the extant members of Lagurini ( Gromov and Polyakov, 1977; Hooper and Hart, 1962; Zagorodnyuk, 1990). Also arranged as subtribe Lagurina within Prometheomyini ( Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1998; Pavlinov et al., 1995 a), Clethrionomyini ( Mezhzherin et al., 1995), or Arvicolini ( McKenna and Bell, 1997). Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) clarified the status of Mus lagurus as the type species, instead of L. migratorius as misindicated by Corbet (1978 c). Koenigswald and Tesakov (1997) documented the enamel microstructure of Lagurus and related its significance for reconstructing relationships among extant and fossil lagurines, from the Pliocene to Recent. Excludes North American Lemmiscus curtatus (see that account).
