description: <i>Apodemus uralensis</i> (Pallas, 1811). Zoogr. Rosso-Asiat., 1:168. TYPE LOCALITY: Russia, S Ural Mts. DISTRIBUTION: From E Europe and Turkey (see map in Steiner, 1978, under <i>A. microps)</i> east to the Altai Mts and NW China (Xinjiang), south into the Caucasus; S and E limits unknown. SYNONYMS: <i>baessleri, balchaschensis, charkovensis, ciscaucasicus, microps, microtis, mosquensis, nankiangensis, pallidus, pallipes, tokmak, tscherga, vohlynensis.</i> COMMENTS: Subgenus <i>Sylvaemus.</i> Listed as a subspecies of <i>A. sylvaticus</i> by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951), who also noted that Kuznetzov <i>(in</i> Bobrinskii et al., 1944) had already suspected that the Altai <i>tscherga</i> and <i>uralensis</i> refered to the same species. This identity, including those of most of the synonyms, is documented by biochemical and morphological results (Mezhzherin and Mikhailenko, 1991; Mezhzherin and Zykov, 1991). Gemmeke (1983) and Vorontsov et al. (1989, 1992) also provided chromosomal and biochemical information (under <i>microps),</i> and Tvrtkovic and Dzukic (1977) provided morphological data in context of distinguishing species of <i>Apodemus.</i> Ma et al. (1987) and Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) treated <i>tscherga</i> as a subspecies of <i>A. sylvaticus,</i> but Corbet (1978c) listed it under <i>A. peninsulae.</i> The NW Chinese <i>nankiangensis</i> was described as a subspecies of <i>A. sylvaticus</i> (see Corbet, 1984; Ma et al., 1987); we provisionally include it and three of the other synonyms <i>(pallidus, balchaschensis,</i> and <i>pallipes)</i> pending a systematic revision of E Russian, Middle Eastern, and W Chinese <i>Apodemus.</i> E European populations reviewed by Steiner (1978, under <i>microps).</i>
