Phodopus roborovskii (Satunin, 1903)

Records. First record was in August 12, 2017 in the live trapping site SHC5 (43°11.092′ N, 105°45.329′ E – 09:00 am), and subsequently in the monitoring site LSH6 ( Table 4); Figure 6O.

Identification. We based the identification on morphometric and qualitative characters. It is smaller than Campbell’s Hamster ( Phodopus campbelli (Thomas, 1905)) and does not have the stripe on the back. The feet are covered with white hairs. It has a relatively long and sharp snout ( Batsaikhan 2014).
