TYPE SPECIES:
Allactodipus bobrinskii
Kolesnikov, 1937
.
COMMENTS: Reviewed by
Shenbrot (1974
, 1984), who showed that in postcranial and dental characters, particularly the height of the molars and alveolar pattern,
A. bobrinskii
falls outside the range of variation of the genus
Allactaga
.
He restored
bobrinskii
to its original genus,
Allactodipus
,
a hypothesis followed by
Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987)
. A critical phylogenetic study incorporating these and other morphological and/or molecular differences between
A. bobrinskii
and other allactagines and dipodines is needed.
