Glirulus japonicus

Creators

Description

Glirulus japonicus (Schinz, 1845). Syst. Verzeichniss Säugeth., 2:530.

TYPE LOCALITY: Japan.

DISTRIBUTION: Japan, Isls of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu.

SYNONYMS: elegans, lasiotis (see Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951; Corbet, 1978c).

COMMENTS: Myoxus elegans Temminck, 1844, is preoccupied by Graphiurus elegans Ogilby, 1838, placed in the genus Myoxus by Wagner, 1843 (see Thomas, 1905«). Species of Glirulus are represented in Europe by early Miocene, Pliocene and early Pleistocene fossils (Hugueney and Mein, 1965; Kowalski, 1963; van der Meulen and de Bruijn, 1982). Medial and late Pleistocene representatives of G. japonicus on Japan were discussed by Kawamura (1989) and Kowalski and Hasegawa (1976). External genital morphology and its taxonomic significance were examined by Rossolimo and Pavlinov (1985).
