Name

Poliocitellus Sabine 1822

Note:

Poliocitellus franklinii was formerly placed in the large ground squirrel genus Spermophilus, in its own subgenus, Poliocitellus,^[1]^[2] but since DNA sequencing of the cytochrome b gene has shown Spermophilus to be paraphyletic it is now placed in its own genus.^[1]^[2]^[3]
