Range: The greater long-tailed hamster occurs throughout the Korean Peninsula and Jeju Island (Fig. 116).
Remarks: Thomas (1907b) found specimens from Korea larger in size than those from China. In Korea, including Jeju Island, the Subspecies T. t. nestor occurs (Jones & Johnson 1965). Koh et al. (2013) showed that the subpopulation from Jeju Island was an allopatric phylogroup. However, the subspecific status of greater long-tailed hamster from Jeju Island remains uncertain.
Conservation status: Koh et al. (2013) advocated that the rare, endemic, genetically distinct, population of T. t. nestor Thomas, 1907 on Jeju Island required special protection as an endangered species.
