Authors/Creators
Description
Spermophilus (Spermophilus) citellus (Linnaeus 1766)
[Mus] citellus Linnaeus 1766, Syst. Nat., 12th ed., Vol. 1: 80.
Type Locality: " Austria "; restricted by Martino and Martino (1940) to "Wagram, Niederosterrich" (Bauer, 1960:254).
Vernacular Names: European Ground Squirrel.
Synonyms: Spermophilus (Spermophilus) macedonicus Fraguedakis-Tsolis and Ondrias 1977.
Subspecies::
Subspecies Spermophilus (Spermophilus) citellus subsp. citellus Linnaeus 1766
Subspecies Spermophilus (Spermophilus) citellus subsp. gradojevici Martino 1929
Subspecies Spermophilus (Spermophilus) citellus subsp. istricus Calinescu 1934
Subspecies Spermophilus (Spermophilus) citellus subsp. martinoi Peshchev 1955
Distribution: SE Germany, Czech Republic, SW Poland through SE Europe to European Turkey, Moldovia and W Ukraine.
Conservation: IUCN – Vulnerable.
Discussion: Subgenus Spermophilus. Formerly included dauricus and xanthoprymnus as in Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951:506); but see Gromov et al. (1965:208, 237), Vorontsov and Lyapunova (1970), and Orlov and Davaa (1975). Cytogenetics described by Belcheva and Peshev (1985) and Soldatovic et al. (1984); xanthoprymnus is now considered to be more closely aligned with suslicus and dauricus (Harrison et al., 2003).
