SYNONYMS: abruttii, argenteus, avellanus, caspicus, caspius, esculentus, giglis, insularis, intermedius, italicus, martinoi, melonii, minutus, orientalis, persicus, petruccii, pindicus, postus, pyrenaicus, spoliatus, subalpinus, tschetshenicus, vagneri, vulgaris (see Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951; Corbet, 1978c).

COMMENTS: Biometry and taxonomy of Asiago Plateau population by Franco (1988); diagnosis and distribution of subspecies in SE Europe by Ondrias (1966). Chromosomal data reported by Belcheva et al. (1989), Dutrillaux (1986), Zima (1987) and Zima and Kral (1984a); phallic structure examined by Hrabe (1969); illustrations and taxonomic significance of the os and glans penis, and stomach anatomy, provided by Kratochvil (1973). The significance of geographical variation within Myoxus, in the context of subspecific or specific level differentiation among populations, has not been investigated throughout its range.
