TYPE SPECIES: Georychus luteus Eversmann, 1840 . COMMENTS: Corbet (1978c) viewed this taxon as part of Lagurus , but subsequent authorities have considered the two separate genera ( Corbet and Hill, 1991 ; Gromov and Polyakov, 1977 ; Pavlinov and Rossolimo, 1987 ; Zagorodnyuk, 1990 ). Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) clarified the taxonomic decisions behind origin of the generic name, and pointed out that Corbet's (1978c) statement that it was meant as a subgenus for luteus may be the first validation of Eolagurus . A member of the tribe Lagurini (see account of Lagurus ).
