Spermophilus (Callospermophilus) saturatus Rhoads 1895, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 47: 43.

Type Locality: "Lake Kichelos [= Keechelus], Kittitas Co., Wash[ingto]n, (elevation 8,000 feet [2,438 m]).".

Vernacular Names: Cascade Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel.

Distribution: Cascade Mtns of W Washington (USA) and SW British Columbia (Canada).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Callospermophilus (Hall, 1981:409). Gromov et al. (1965:150) considered Callospermophilus a subgenus of genus Otospermophilus. Reviewed by Trombulak (1988, Mammalian Species No. 322). Molecular sequence data indicate that this species is basal to other Callospermophilus (Harrison et al., 2003).
