Volemys Zagorodnyuk 1990

Description

Volemys Zagorodnyuk, 1990. Vestn. Zool., 2:28.

TYPE SPECIES: Microtus musseri Lawrence, 1982.

COMMENTS: Tribe Arvicolini. A small group of alpine or subalpine species isolated on high mountains in SW China, N Burma and on Taiwan. All have traditionally been placed in Microtus, although their phylogenetic relationships with other species in that genus were regarded as obscure or equivocal (see the discussion in Zagorodnyuk, 1990).
