REMARK
This species is closely related to J. blanfordi (Murray, 1884) by skull characteristics and the very complex structure of penis. However, the white flag is absent in the tail of J. thaleri , and karyotype is different from J. blanfordi ( Darvish & Hosseinie 2005) . Michaux & Shenbrot (2017) concluded that the Thaler’s Jerboa was an aberrant phenotype of J. blanfordi rather than an independent species. Hence, further sampling around the type locality (Kavir-e-Namak) and more integrated taxonomic studies are needed for precise inferences on this issue.
