Overall range mapped in Shenbrot et al. (1995).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Subgenus Allactaga . Does not include vinogradovi (see comment therein). Detailed review provided by Ognev (1963 b). Karyotype contributed by Vorontsov et al. (1969 c). Subspecific revision and additional distributional data provided by Shenbrot (1993). Segments in Russia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan reviewed by Gromov and Erbajeva (1995) and Shenbrot et al. (1995). Shenbrot (in litt., 2003) is skeptical about distribution of this species in Nei Mongol, and N Gansu, China due to possible misidentification with Pygeretmus pumilio . For synonyms see Corbet (1978c, 1984) and Shenbrot (1993).
