DISTRIBUTION AND TANONOMIC STATUS OF GENUS CLETHRIO- NOMYS TILESIUS, 1850 (MAMMALIA: RODENTIA) IN NORTH ANATOLIA
Öz This study was carried out to evaluate the uncertain taxonomic status and distribution of Clethrionomys glareolus ponticus Thomas, 1906 which belongs to vole mouse recorded from Tür kiye, by means of re-exaınination of the new material. Skull and skin of the 122 specimens captured frnm type locality and record areas, and every- where planned along with the field notes were examined and some observations were recorded. While the skin and skull were evaluated morphologically, 32 characters taken were evalu- ated by the biometric methods and findings were compared with the published data. As a result, the subspecies ponticus were considered as a valid and different taxon having a continuous dîst- ribution in Marmara and Black Sea regions of Türkiye.
