Name

Poliocitellus franklinii (Sabine, 1822)

Type locality: None specified. Restricted by Preble (1908:165) to Carlton House, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Synonyms

  • Arctomys franklinii Sabine, 1822
  • Spermophilus franklini: Lesson, 1827
  • Arctomis franklini: Lesson, 1827
  • Citellus (Ictidomys) franklini: Preble, 1908

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]
