Description

Spermophilus parryii (Richardson, 1825). In Parry, Voy. discovery Northwest Passage, Vol. 6- app. second voy., p. 316.

TYPE LOCALITY: Restricted by Preble (1902:46) to "Five Hawser Bay, Lyon Inlet, Melville Peninsula, [Hudson Bay, Keewatin District, Northwest Territories], Canada."

DISTRIBUTION: NW Canada; Alaska (USA); NE Yakutia, Anadyrsk. Krai, and Chukotka (Russia).

SYNONYMS: ablusus (Osgood, 1903); barrowensis Merriam, 1900; beringensis Merriam, 1900; buxtoni (J. Allen, 1903); coriacorum (Portenko, 1963); janensis (Ognev, 1937); kennicottii (Ross, 1861); kodiacensis J. Allen, 1874; leucostictus Brandt, 1844; lyratus (Hall and Gilmore, 1932); nebulicola (Osgood, 1903); osgoodi Merriam, 1900; phaeognatha (Richardson, 1829); plesius Osgood, 1900; stejnegeri (J. Allen, 1903); stonei (J. Allen, 1903); tschuktschorum Chernyavskii, 1972.

COMMENTS: Subgenus Urocitellus according to Gromov et al. (1965: 184), but see Hall (1981:381) who included Urocitellus in subgenus Spermophilus. Regarded by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951:511) and Hall and Kelson (1959:343) as a synonym of undulatus. Gromov et al. (1965: 184) and Nadler et al. (1974) provided evidence of specific distinctness. Reviewed by Chernyavskii (1972), Nadler and Hoffmann (1977), Serdyuk (1979) (Palearctic), and Pearson (1981) (Nearctic). Nikol'skii and Wallschläger (1982) noted differences in alarm calls between Siberian and Alaskan populations.
