10. Striped Dwarf Hamster Cricetulus barabensis French: Hamster de Chine / German: Daurischer Zwerghamster / Spanish: Hamster enano rayado Taxonomy. Mus barabensis Pallas, 1773, Kasmalinskii Bor, banks of Ob River, W Siberia, Russia. Cricetulus barabensis is in the barabensis species group. In the past, there was confusion about taxonomy of griseus and pseudogriseus, which were eitherlisted as species on their own right or subspecies of barabensis. Both griseus (2n = 22) and pseudogriseus (2n = 24) differ in karyotypes from barabensis (2n = 20), but all chromosomal forms intebreed successfully. Up to six subspecies have been recognized, but actual number is not established with certainty. Subspecific differentiation needs to be clarified pending further studies. Treated here as monotypic. Distribution. NE Kazakhstan, Russia (W Siberia from Irtysh River E through Transbaikalia to Ussuri region in Russian Far East), Mongolia, N, NE & C China, and extreme NW & NE Korean Peninsula.
