Microtus (Alexandromys) mujanensis Orlov and Kovalskaya 1978
Microtus (Alexandromys) mujanensis Orlov and Kovalskaya 1978, Zool. Zh., 57: 1224.
Type Locality: Russia, Buryat, Bauntovski Dist., Vitim River Basin, Muya Valley.
Vernacular Names: Muya Valley Vole.
Distribution: Known only from vicinity of the type locality (Meyer et al., 1996).
Conservation: IUCN – Critically Endangered.
Discussion: Subgenus Alexandromys, maximowiczii species group (Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1998; Pavlinov et al., 1995 a; Zagorodnyuk, 1990). A member of subgenus Microtus according to Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) and Meyer et al. (1996). Analysis of molar variation in the M. maximowiczii species group indicates close relationship between M. mujanensis (2n = 38, FN = 50-53) and M. evoronensis (2n = 40, FN = 58) (Pozdnyakov, 1993), as does integration of morphological, karyological, and hybridization data (Meyer, 1983; Meyer et al., 1996).
