Conservation: IUCN – Endangered.

Discussion: Sokolov et al. (1982, 1987 b) and Sokolov and Kovalskaya (1990) gave karyological and spermatozooal characters that distinguished this species from S. tianshanica, and from S. concolor (Sokolov et al., 1980). See also comment under Sicista and S. concolor. Korean range is discussed by Won and Smith (1999). Populations in Russia reviewed by Gromov and Erbajeva (1995) and Shenbrot et al. (1995).
