Genus Lasiopodomys Lataste, 1887

Lasiopodomys was considered a subgenus of Microtus or a full synonym of Phaiomys . Gromov and Polyakov (1992) regarded Lasiopodomys as a distinct genus from Microtus based on morphology (claw of the middle digit of the forelimb 2/3 of digit length in Lasiopodomys , much shorter in Microtus ; tail length 1/5 trunk length in Lasiopodomys , greater than 1/ 5 in Microtus ; auditory bullae do not protrude downward beyond molar row in Lasiopodomys , protrude beyond molar row in Microtus ; three denticles on medial side M 3 in Lasiopodomys , more than three in Microtus ). Musser and Carleton (2005) recognized three species in this genus, with only L. mandarinus occurring in Korea.
