COMMENT: Subgenus Chionomys ; see Anderson, 1960, or Suranomys Chaline, 1974 ; Gromov and Polyakov, 1977:327, considered Chionomys a full genus. Van der Meulen, 1978, Ann. Carnegie Mus., 47: 140, considered Suranomys a junior synonym of Chionomys (LDM) . Related to gud and roberti , but all three occur in the Caucasus. Peshev, 1970, Mammalia, 34:252-268, showed that further study is needed of the populations now included in this species (SRL).
