Lagurus Gloger, 1841. Gemein Hand.-Hilfsbuch. Nat., 1:97. TYPE SPECIES: Mus lagurus Pallas, 1773. SYNONYMS: Eremiomys. COMMENTS: Closely related to Eolagurus, both of which are the only extant members of the Tribe Lagurini (Gromov and Polyakov, 1977; Hooper and Hart, 1962; Zagorodnyuk, 1990). Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) clarified the status of Mus lagurus as the type species instead of L. migratorius as indicated by Corbet (1978c). Excludes North American Lemmiscus curtatus (see that account).
