Allactaga firouzi Womochel, 1978 View in CoL . Fieldiana Zool., 72(5):65.

TYPE LOCALITY: Iran, Isfahan Prov., 18 mi S Shah Reza (Qomisheh), 2253 m .

DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the type locality, a flat plain with a gravel substrate and sparse, mountain steppe vegetation ( Womochel, 1978).

COMMENTS: Not allocated to subgenus by Shenbrot (1984). A. firouzi appears to be morphologically distinct from A. euphratica and A. hotsoni ( Womochel, 1978) , but its relationship with these and other species of allactagines needs further study. Shenbrot (19914) tentatively synonymized firouzi with A. elater turkmeni , but later (in litt.) examined the type specimen and considered firouzi synonymous with hotsoni .
