Pygeretmus Gloger 1841 View in CoL , Gemein. Hand.-Hilfsbuch. Nat., Vol. 1: 106.

Type Species: Dipus platurus Lichtenstein 1823

Synonyms: Platycercomys Brandt 1843 ; Pliopygerethmus Topachevskii and Skorik 1971 ; Pseudoalactaga Topachevskii 1971 ; Pygerethmus Vinogradov 1930 .

Species and subspecies: 3 species in 2 subgenera:

Subgenus Pygeretmus (Pygeretmus) Gloger 1841

Subgenus Pygeretmus (Alactagulus) Nehring 1897

Species Pygeretmus (Pygeretmus) platyurus (Lichtenstein 1823)

Species Pygeretmus (Alactagulus) pumilio ( Kerr 1792)

Species Pygeretmus (Pygeretmus) shitkovi Kuznetsov 1930

Discussion: Vorontsov et al. (1969 b) found no distinguishing karyological characters between subgenera Alactagulus and Pygeretmus ; in the same study, karyotypes and morphometric comparisons of subgenus Pygeretmus were provided. Shenbrot's (1984) subgeneric classification is followed below. Gromov and Erbajeva (1995) recognized Alactagulus as a separate genus, and Kowalski (2001) used Pliopygerethmus , but both are considered synonyms of Pygeretmus ( Heptner, 1984; Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1987; Shenbrot, 1984; Zazhigin and Lopatin, 2000 c). Generic review and distribution provided by Shenbrot et al. (1995). For synonyms see McKenna and Bell (1997) and Zazhigin and Lopatin (2000c).
