TYPE SPECIES: Microtus (Chionomys) marakovici Bolkay, 1924 (= Microtus bogdanovi Martino, 1922 ). COMMENTS: Often referenced as Dolomys until Corbet (1978c) explained the correct usage of Dinaromys for bogdanovi . The genus has been allocated to the Ondatrini (see Corbet, 1978c ) or Clethrionomyini ( Gromov and Polyakov, 1977 ; Hooper and Hart, 1962 ), but Kretzoi's (1969) referral to the Pliomyini perhaps reflects a stronger hypothesis of its phylogenetic affinities (also see Zagorodnyuk, 1990 ). Based on molar enamel microstructure, Koenigswald (1980) discovered no close affinity with any living arvicoline and suggested a relationship with an extinct species of Propliomys , a late Pliocene genus also placed in Pliomyini by Kretzoi (1969) .
