description: <i>Microtus schelkovnikovi</i> (Satunin, 1907). Izv. Kavkas. Mus., 3, 1:242. TYPE LOCALITY: Azerbaijan, Talysk Mtns, near village of Dzhi. DISTRIBUTION: S Azerbaijan, Talysk and Elburz Mtns; limits of range unknown. SYNONYMS: <i>dorothea.</i> COMMENTS: Subgenus <i>Terricola,</i> sole member of its own species group <i>sensu</i> Zagorodnyuk (1990). Lumped under <i>Pitymys subterraneus</i> by Ellerman Morrison-Scott (1951), but its validity as a separate species has been documented by Kratochvil (1970) and Kratochvil and Kràl (1974) and is so listed in faunal catalogues (Corbet, 1978c; Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1987). The name <i>kaznakovi</i> may be valid for this species (Corbet, 1984), but Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) avoided its use and cited Gromov and Polyakov (1977) for the opinion that it belongs with <i>Alticola.</i> Chromosomal data summarized by Zima and Krâl (1984a) and Achverdjan et al. (1992).
