Distribution: Known only from the type locality (Meyer et al., 1996).

Conservation: IUCN – Critically Endangered.

Discussion: Subgenus Alexandromys , maximowiczii species group ( Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1998; Pavlinov et al., 1995 a; Zagorodnyuk, 1990). Placed in subgenus Microtus by Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) and Meyer et al. (1996). Considered closely related to M. mujanensis and M. maximowiczii ( Meyer, 1983) ; close kinship to M. mujanensis sustained by molar variation within the M. maximowiczii species group ( Pozdnyakov, 1993) and by data accumulated from morphological, karyological, and hybridization studies (Meyer et al., 1996).
