REMARK

Michaux & Shenbrot (2017) indicated that the S. cf. williamsi named by K. Hamidi and colleagues in 2016 is a separate species that needs to be formally described. This taxon could also be possibly closely related to S. euphraticus caprimulga Ellerman, 1948 . Hence, it could probably be considered as an additional endemic rodent for Iran (C. William Kilpatrick comm. pers.).
