Alticola (Alticola) albicaudus True 1894 View in CoL , Proc. U. S. Natl. Mus ., 17: 12.

Type Locality: India, Baltistan, Braldu Valley.

Vernacular Names: White-tailed Mountain Vole.

Synonyms: Alticola (Alticola) acmaeus Schwarz 1939 .

Distribution: Himalayan portions of Baltistan (Braldu Valley, Nahr Nulla) and Ladakh (Phyang Nulla), NW India ( Rossolimo and Pavlinov, 1992; Rossolimo et al., 1994).

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Subgenus Alticola , A. roylei-A. argentatus species group ( Rossolimo and Pavlinov, 1992). Although usually included in A. roylei ( Corbet, 1978 c; Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951; Gromov and Polyakov, 1977), Hinton (1926 a) earlier pointed out the diagnostic specific traits of albicaudus . Rossolimo and Pavlinov (1992) verified this ranking, fully redescribed the species, and contrasted it with morphologically similar forms. Schwarz’s (1939) acmaeus represents another population of A. albicaudus ( Rossolimo and Pavlinov, 1992; our study of holotype).
