Treatment

Apodemus fulvipectus Ognev, 1924 . Rodentia of N Caucasus, Rostov-on-Don, p. 47.

TYPE LOCALITY: Georgia, N Caucasus, Dusheti Dist., near Kobi .

DISTRIBUTION: From E of the Dnepr River in the Ukraine, the Crimea, through Russia into the N Caucasus, Trancaucasus ( Georgia, Armenia, and Azervaijan) and possibly in N Turkey, N Iran, and east to Kopet-Dag Mts ( Mezhzherin and Zagorodnyuk, 1989).

SYNONYMS: chorassanicus, falzfeini .

COMMENTS: Subgenus Sylvaemus . Mezhzherin and Zagorodnyuk (1989) described falzfeini as a species, which O. Rossolimo (in litt.) considered to be the same as A. fulvipectus . Subsequent results from genetic studies led Mezhzherin and Zykov (1991) to treat falzfeini as identical with chorassanicus, which was originally described as a subspecies of A. sylvaticus . Vorontsov et al. (1992) recognized fulvipectus as the oldest name for this species; it was one of the electrophoretic siblings in the Caucasus revealed by Vorontsov et al. (1989).
