Apodemus peninsulae

description: <i>Apodemus peninsulae</i> (Thomas, 1907). Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1906:862 [1907]. TYPE LOCALITY: Korea, 110 m SE of Seoul, Mingyoung. DISTRIBUTION: SE Siberia from NE China (Xinjiang) and Altai Mtns to Ussuri, south through NE China and Korea, and E Mongolia to SW China (Sichuan and E Xizang); also on N Japanese islands of Sakhalin and Hokkaido. SYNONYMS: <i>giliacus, major, majusculus, nigritalus, praetor, qinghaiensis, rufulus, sowerbyi.</i> COMMENTS: Subgenus <i>Alsomys.</i> The Chinese <i>qinghaiensis</i> was described as a subspecies (Feng et al., 1983). Results of B-chromosomal analyses and references to chromosomal studies of <i>A. peninsulae</i> provided by Kolomiets et al. (1988) and Borisov and Malygin (1991). Biochemical systematics in reference to <i>A. speciosus</i> and the Hokkaido <i>giliacus</i> reported by Saitoh et al. (1989), who also reviewed the contrasting treatment of <i>giliacus</i> as either a subspecies of <i>A. peninsulae</i> or a separate species, and its bigeographical implications. Corbet (1978c) listed <i>nigritalus</i> as a synonym of <i>A. sylvaticus,</i> but the holotype is <i>A. peninsulae</i> (also see Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1987:221). <i>A. peninsulae nigritalus</i> is sympatric with the smaller-bodied <i>A. uralensis tscherga</i> in the Altai region, which Hollister had noted (but under different names) in 1913b (see Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951:567). Placed in subgenus <i>Apodemus</i> by Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) and Mezhzherin and Zykov (1991).
