Allactaga (Allactaga) firouzi Womochel 1978 View in CoL

Allactaga (Allactaga) firouzi Womochel 1978 View in CoL , Fieldiana Zool., 72 (5): 65.

Type Locality: Iran, Isfahan Prov., 18 mi (29 km) S Shah Reza (Qomisheh), 2253 m.

Vernacular Names: Iranian Jerboa.

Distribution: Known only from the type locality, a flat plain with a gravel substrate and sparse, mountain steppe vegetation ( Womochel, 1978).

Conservation: IUCN – Critically Endangered.

Discussion: Subgenus Allactaga (not allocated to subgenus by Shenbrot, 1984). Allactaga firouzi appears to be morphologically distinct from A. euphratica and A. hotsoni ( Womochel, 1978) , but its relationship with these and other species of allactagines needs further study. Shenbrot (1993) tenatively synonymized firouzi with A. elater turkmeni , but later (in litt.) examinied the type specimen and considered firouzi synonymous with hotsoni , which is where Pavlinov et al. (1995) listed it. We recognize the species until published data indicates otherwise.
