Type Locality: "Chigyr-Tash, in the headwaters of the Ugam River, Talass Ala Tau" [Yuzhno-Kazakhstansk. Obl., Kazakhstan].

Vernacular Names: Menzbier's Marmot.

Subspecies Marmota (Marmota) menzbieri subsp. zachidovi Petrov 1963

Distribution: W Tien Shan Mtns, in S Kazakhstan and NW Kirgizia.

Conservation: IUCN – Vulnerable.

Discussion: Subgenus Marmota (Steppan et al., 1999). Regarded by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951:514) as a probable synonym of marmota; but see Corbet (1978 c:81). Steppan et al. (1999) found menzbieri to be the sister species to caudata.
