Comments: Type species of Macroechinus Satunin. Includes eversmanni, sabaeus and seniculus as possible and blanfordi as a distinct subspecies; see Corbet (1988:155). Species reviewed by Nader (1991) and Harrison and Bates (1991). DNA sequence data of animals from Iran diverge strongly from P. aethiopicus (Morshed and Patton, 2002)
