Range: Myodes rutilus occurs in the extreme northeastern region of the Korean Peninsula ( Fig. 121 View FIGURE 121 ). The southern limit of the range is in Chail Peak, Ryanggang-Province ( Kim et al. 2015).

Remarks: The northern red-backed vole in Korea has been regarded as M. r. hintoni or M. r. amurensis . Although hintoni is now considered a synonym of amurensis ( Won 1968) , a re-examination of the subspecific status for Korean populations of Myodes rutilus seems necessary due to considerable local variation such as shorter tail with long hairs on a floccus ( Won 1968). In northeastern Asia, four lineages of M. rutilus (central Siberia, fareastern Siberia, Alaska-Kamchatka/Sakhalin and Hokkaido) were identified by using cytochrome b ( Iwasa et al. 2002). Kohli et al. (2015) analyzed the same gene and confirmed similar lineages (western = central Siberia; central = far eastern Siberia; and eastern clade with 3 subgroups, Bering, Sakhalin, and Hokkaido), but nuclear gene analysis showed poor structuring among lineages.
