Comment:
Comments: Arvicolini, subtribe Arvicolina (Pavlinov et al., 1995a). We provisionally retain Chionomys in Arvicolini, following Gromov and Polyakov (1977), but stress that its tribal affinities are unresolved. Others have viewed the genus as a member of Myodini, as based on allozymic data (Mezhzherin et al., 1995) or on the stratigraphic sequence of fossils that suggest common ancestry with Myodes (Kretzoi, 1969; Chaline, 1987)
