Treatment

Meriones chertgi Wang, 1964 . Acta Zootaxon. Sinica, 1:9.

TYPE LOCALITY: China, N Xinjiang (Sinkiang), Da-Ho-Yien, Turfan .

DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the type locality.

COMMENTS: Subgenus Pallasiomys . Wang (1964) considered this species, based on a series of adult and immature specimens, to be most closely related to M. meridianus , which also occurs in Xinjiang Prov ( Ma et al., 1987). The relationship of chengi to the latter species needs to be assessed by revision of Meriones , especially the M. meridianus complex.
