Eolagurus

Vestn. Akad. Nauk Kazakh. SSR, 7-8:44
.
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
).
