Five-toed Pygmy Jerboa – Cardiocranius paradoxus

Cardiocranius paradoxusSatunin, 1903

Accepted name, Mammal Species of the World 2005

A morphometric study by Sokolov and Shenbrot (1988) indicated that the Kazakhstan population falls within the range of intraspecific variation for C. paradoxus, and is not a separate species as was suggested by Gromov and Baranova (1981). For detailed habitat data see Naumov and Lobachev (1975). Reviewed by Gromov and Erbajeva (1995) and Shenbrot et al. (1995).
