Microtus guentheri

description: <i>Microtus guentheri</i> (Danford and Alston, 1880). Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1880:62. TYPE LOCALITY: Turkey, Maras Prov., Taurus Mtns, near Maras (= Marash). DISTRIBUTION: S Bulgaria, S Yugoslavia, E Greece, and W Turkey (see Niethammer, 1982e). SYNONYMS: <i>hartingi, lydius, macedonicus, martinoi, strandzensis.</i> COMMENTS: Subgenus <i>Microtus, sodalis</i> species group <i>sensu</i> Zagorodnyuk (1990). Gromov and Polyakov (1977) and Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) placed this species in subgenus <i>Sumeriomys,</i> but Zagorodnyuk (1990) left it in the subgenus <i>Microtus.</i> Corbet (1978c) initially included <i>guentheri</i> in <i>M. sodalis</i> but later recognized its specific distinctness (Corbet, 1984), which was earlier demonstrated by Felten et al. (1971) and Morlok (1978). Harrison and Bates (1991) continued to unite <i>guentheri</i> with <i>M. socialis.</i> Reviewed by Niethammer (1982c); chromosomal data summarized and reviewed by Zima and Krâl (1984a).
