description: <i>Lemmus</i> Link, 1795. Beitr. Naturgesch., 1 (2):75. TYPE SPECIES: Mus <i>lemmus</i> Linnaeus, 1758. SYNONYMS: <i>Brachyurus, Hypudaeus, Lemnus, Myodes.</i> COMMENTS: Nominative genus of Miller's (1896) classic tribe Lemmi, then including <i>Dicrostonyx</i> (see that account). Distinctiveness still recognized as the tribe Lemmini, including <i>Myopus</i> and <i>Synaptomys,</i> a clade believed to represent an early line of arvicoline evolution (Carleton, 1981; Chaline and Graf, 1988; Graf, 1982; Gromov and Polyakov, 1977; Hinton, 1926; Hooper and Hart, 1962; Koenigswald, 1980). Fossil history reviewed by Koenigswald and Martin (1984) and zoogeography discussed by Rausch and Rausch (1975b). Old World taxa reviewed by Corbet (1978c, 1984), Gromov and Polyakov (1977), and Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987). Chromosomal information summarized and reviewed by Zima and Krâl (1984a). Also see account of <i>Myopus.</i>
