description: <i>Marmota baibacina</i> Kastschenko, 1899. Rezul't. Altaisk. Zool. Exp. 1898, p. 62. TYPE LOCALITY: "...Multa River, near Nizhne-Uimon in the Altai Mountains" [Altaisk. Krai, Russia] (Ognev, 1963a: 252). Alternatively, Aktol' River near Cherga, Gorno-Altaisk. A.O. (Kuznetsov, <i>in</i> Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951:514). DISTRIBUTION: Altai Mtns, SW Siberia (Russia), SE Kazakhstan, Kirgizistan; Mongolia; Xinjiang (China). Introduced into Caucasus Mtns (Dagestan, Russia; Gromov et al., 1965:360). SYNONYMS: <i>aphanasievi</i> Kuznetsov, 1965; <i>centralis</i> (Thomas, 1909); <i>kastschenkoi</i> Stroganov and Yudin, 1956; <i>lewisi</i> (Audubon and Bachman, 1854); <i>ognevi</i> Scalon, 1950. COMMENTS: Placed by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951:514) in <i>marmota,</i> and by Corbet (1978c:81) in <i>bobak;</i> Kapitonov (1966) analyzed purported hybridization between <i>baibacina</i> and <i>bobak,</i> while Nikol'skii (1974) and Nikol'skii et al. (1983) found speciesspecific vocalizations. Most Russian authors retain both as distinct species (Gromov et al., 1965:337-387; Zimina, 1978; Zholnerovskaya et al., 1990) and include <i>centralis</i> in this species. Kapitonov (1966) indicated that the population called <i>aphanasievi</i> is included in this species; but also see Corbet (1978c:81). Includes <i>lewisi,</i> a <i>nomen oblitum</i> (Hoffmann, 1977); <i>baibacina</i> (Brandt, 1843) is a <i>nomen nudum. See</i> also <i>bobak, sibirica.</i>
