Type Species: Gerbillus calurus Thomas 1892
Species and subspecies: 1 species:
Species Sekeetamys calurus (Thomas 1892)
Discussion: Tribe Gerbillini , Subtribe Rombomyina . Reviewed by Corbet (1978 c), who also discussed the past allocation of calurus to either Meriones or Gerbillus . Based primarily upon morphology, Pavlinov et al. (1990), thought Sekeetamys was most closely related to Meriones and Brachiones , but Tong (1989) aligned it with Microdillus and Gerbillus . One of four gerbil genera in which electrophoretic, chromosomal, and morphological traits were examined to assess rates of evolutionary change ( Qumsiyeh and Chesser, 1988).
