Ellobius (Ellobius) alaicus Vorontsov et al. 1969 View in CoL , in: Vorontsov (ed.), [The Mammals: Evolution, karyology, taxonomy, fauna], Novosibirsk: 127.

Type Locality: Kyrgyzstan, Alai Valley, between Sary-Tashem and Bardabo, 3300 m.

Vernacular Names: Alai Mole Vole.

Distribution: Recorded only from the Alai Mtns, S Kyrgyzstan.

Conservation: IUCN – Endangered.

Discussion: Subgenus Ellobius . Included, with reservation, in E. talpinus by Corbet (1978 c), an assignment contradicted by chromosomal data and breeding results that reveal its closer relationship to E. tancrei , with which it is parapatric ( Corbet, 1984; Lyapunova et al., 1990, and references therein); provisionally placed in that species by Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987).
