Spermophilus (Spermophilus) ralli Kuznetsov 1948
Spermophilus (Spermophilus) ralli Kuznetsov 1948, Zveri Kirgizii [Animals of Kirgiziya, Moscow Soc. of Naturalists]: 39.
Type Locality: "Tip iz kotlovinny Oz. Issyk-Kul’" [Type from basin of lake Issyk-Kul’] (Kuznetsov, 1965:264).
Vernacular Names: Tien Shan Ground Squirrel.
Distribution: Mountains and valleys surrounding the eastern end of the Issyk-Kul’ valley, from the Terskii-Alatau in the southeast to the Ketmen’ Alatau in the northeast. Its range is separated from that of S. relictus, which occupies the western Tien Shan.
Discussion: This species is usually included in S. relictus as an allopatric subspecies, but molecular sequence data indicate that the two taxa are separate (Harrison et al., 2003). Kuznetsov’s name is regarded as having priority over ralli (Heptner, 1948; a replacement name for pygmaeus arenicola; and thus preoccupied), but Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) indicated that Kuznetsov (1948) might not have been published in May, but later, in July-August, while pygmaeus ralli was published in May, 1948. If so, Kuznetsov, 1948 is preoccupied.
