Eolagurus luteus: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (cd)
Comment:
Comments: Gromov and Polyakov (1977) and Gromov and Erbajeva (1995) excellently covered morphology, geographic distribution, and phylogeny; cranial and dental morphology also described by Hinton (1926a). The three synonyms were originally appied as species to samples of Eolagurus from early and middle Pleistocene sediments, but are now regarded as extinct subspecies of E. luteus (Gromov and Polyakov, 1977)
