Description
Salpingotus michaelis Fitzgibbon, 1966. Mammalia, 30(3):431.
TYPE LOCALITY: Pakistan, NW Baluchistan, Nushki Plateau, appox. 29°N, 66°E, altitude 3,500 ft.
DISTRIBUTION: Pakistan, NW Baluchistan (Roberts, 1977).
COMMENTS: Subgenus Salpingotulus. Pavlinov (1980b) placed S. michaelis in a separate genus, Salpingotulus, based on genital morphology, tooth characters, and shape of the condylar process; this arrangement was followed by Vorontsov and Shenbrot (1984). The results of a morphometric and qualitative study of Salpingotus by Vorontsov and Shenbrot (1984) showed substructure within the genus based on overall similarity, with S. michaelis joining the clusters of other Salpingotus at a high level of dissimilarity, followed by S. kozlovi. Their results indicated that generic separation of michaelis was not supported, particularly if kozlovi was retained in Salpingotus. In addition, no phylogenetic study has been done. Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987:162) suggested that Salpingotus included Salpingotulus, a hypothesis followed here.
For discussion of S. michaelis versus S. thomasi, and the possible occurance of S. michaelis in Afghanistan, see Hassinger (1973) and Roberts (1977). See also comment under S. thomasi.
