Allactaga (Allactaga) vinogradovi Argyropulo 1941 , Fauna SSSR, Mlekopitaiushchiy, Opredelitel grizunov, Izdatelstvo Akademii Nauk, SSSR: 138.

Type Locality: Kazakhstan, Dzhambul region, Burnoye and Rovnoye.

Vernacular Names: Vinogradov's Jerboa.

Distribution: S Kazakhstan, E Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan (see Shenbrot, 1993; Shenbrot et al., 1995).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Allactaga . Shenbrot (1993) showed that A. vinogradovi differs from A. elater in toothrow length and phallic morphology, and that the two are sympatric along the Talas River and in SE Betpak-Dala ( Kazakhstan). While the species is recognized by most workers ( Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1998; Pavlinov et al., 1995; Shenbrot et al., 1995), Gromov and Erbajeva (1995) retained vinogradovi in the synonymy of A. elater . Reviewed by Shenbrot et al. (1995). There are no recent records of A. vinogradovi from Tajikistan, but the species occurred there during middle Pleistocene (G. Shenbrot, in litt., 2003).
