COMMENTS: Whether one or more species is represented by the named forms remains to be resolved by systematic revision. Song (1985) proposed ningshaanensis for a sample of T. triton from Shaanxi .

In the past, 1. triton was placed in the genus Cricetulus , but analysis of mtDNA validated generic status of Tscherskia . Cansumys canus is considered as subspecies of 1. triton by some authors, but they are quite different morphologically and karyologically. Existing genetic evidence of conspecificity of Ischerskia triton and Cansumys canus may reflect misidentification of C. canus . Widely used subspecific names collinus and incanus have been changed for gender agreement. Some authors consider 13cherskia triton ningshaanensis named by S. Song in 1985 a subspecies of C. canus , but here is treated as a synonym of incana . Five subspecies recognized.

Discussion: G. M. Allen (1940) thoroughly redescribed the species, but whether one or more species are represented among the named forms remains to be resolved. Two sibling chromosomal species have been recognized ( albipes and triton ) but soon after refuted based on additional chromosomal data (see Corbet, 1984 , and references therein). Song (1985) proposed ningshaanensis for a sample of T. triton from Shaanxi, but Wang (2003) and Zhang et al. (1997) listed it as a subspecies of Cansumys canus (see that account). Karyotypes and B chromosomes from several Chinese samples described by Wang et al (1999). A related fossil species, T. rusa , has been described from Holocene material in NW Iran ( Storch, 1974 ), far outside the range of extant Tscherskia .
