121. Root Vole Alexandromys oeconomus French: Campagnol nordique / German: Nordische Wiihimaus / Spanish: Topillo de tundra Other common names: Tundra Vole Taxonomy. Mus oeconomus Pallas, 1776, Ishim River valley, Tyumen’ Region, Russia. Alexandromys oeconomus was sometimes classified in subgenus Pallasiinus, which does not conform to requirements of the International Code for Zoological Nomenclature and is therefore an unavailable name. The correct subgeneric name is Oecomicrotus named by G. Rabeder in 1981. Genetically, A. oeconomus is close to A. kikuchii and A. montebelli. Within A. oeconomus, there are four distinct mtDNA clades: Central European (southern Scandinavia, Netherlands, Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, and south-western Slovakia), North European (northern and eastern Scandinavia, Belarus, and European Russia), Central Asian (Siberia and western part of Russian Far East), and Beringian (Chukchi and Kamchatka peninsulas, Kuril Islands, Alaska, and western Canada).
