description: <i>Spermophilus erythrogenys</i> Brandt, 1841. Bull. Acad. Sei. St. Petersbourg, p. 43. TYPE LOCALITY: "...vicinity of Barnaul" [Altaisk Krai, Russia] (Ognev, 1963a:60). DISTRIBUTION: E Kazakhstan, SW Siberia (Russia), Xinjiang (China). Isolated population <i>(pallidicaudus)</i> in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia (China). SYNONYMS: <i>brevicauda</i> Brandt, 1843; <i>brunnescens</i> (Beljaev, 1943); <i>carruthersi</i> (Thomas, 1912); <i>iliensis</i> (Beljaev, 1943); <i>intermedius</i> Brandt, 1843; <i>pallidicauda</i> (Satunin, 1903); <i>saryarka</i> Selevin, 1937; <i>selevini</i> (Vinogradov and Argyropulo, 1941). COMMENTS: Subgenus <i>Colobotis</i> according to Gromov et al. (1965:315), but see Hall (1981:381) who included <i>Colobotis</i> in subgenus <i>Spermophilus.</i> Includes <i>brevicauda (= intermedius), carruthersi,</i> and <i>pallidicauda;</i> Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951:508, 511) regarded <i>brevicauda, intermedius</i> and <i>carruthersi</i> as synonyms of <i>pygmaeus,</i> and <i>pallidicauda</i> as a full species. Sludskii et al. (1969) considered <i>intermedius (= brevicauda)</i> a full species. Provisionally included in <i>major</i> by Corbet (1978c:84); but see Gromov et al. (1965:315), Vorontsov and Lyapunova (1970), and Nikol'skii (1984) for evidence of specific distinctness. See also <i>major.</i>
