description: <i>Microtus subterraneus</i> (de Selys-Longchamps, 1836). Essai Monogr. sur les Campagnols des Env. de Liege., 10. TYPE LOCALITY: Belgium, Liege, Waremme. DISTRIBUTION: Bulk of range from N and C France through C Europe to Ukraine and the Don River, south through Yugoslavia and the Balkans into N Greece (European range mapped in Niethammer, 1982g); isolated populations in NE Russia (see Zagorodnyuk, 1989). SYNONYMS: <i>atratus, capucinus, dacius, dinaricus, ehiki, fusca, hungaricus, incertoides, incertus, klozeli, kupelwieseri, martinoi, matrensis, mustersi</i> (of Martino, 1937, not Hinton, 1926), <i>neuhauseri, nyirensis, rufofuscus, transsylvanicus, transvolgensis, ukrainiens, volaensis, wettsteini, zimmermanni.</i> COMMENTS: Subgenus <i>Terricola, subterraneus</i> species group <i>sensu</i> Chaline et al. (1988) and Zagorodnyuk (1990). Reviewed by Corbet (1978c, 1984) and Niethammer (1982g). Taxonomy, geographic distribution, and morphological variation in context of defining species in subgenus <i>Terricola</i> reported by Zagorodnyuk (1989, 1992); karyotypic information presented by Sablina et al. (1989), Zima (1986), and Zima and Krâl (1984a); biochemical comparisons among <i>M. subterraneus, M. felteni,</i> and other voles documented by Gill et al. (1987). Synonyms referenced according to Zagorodnyuk (1989), who speculated that <i>dacius</i> is a separate species.
