Radde's vole (Stenocranius raddei) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. [2] It is found in Russia and Mongolia. [2] It was formerly considered a subspecies of the narrow-headed vole (Stenocranius gregalis). [2] [1] It is named after the Russian botanist Gustav Radde.
Gustav Ferdinand Richard Radde was a German naturalist and Siberian explorer. Radde's warbler and several other species are named after him.
The Arvicolinae are a subfamily of rodents that includes the voles, lemmings, and muskrats. They are most closely related to the other subfamilies in the Cricetidae. Some authorities place the subfamily Arvicolinae in the family Muridae along with all other members of the superfamily Muroidea. Some refer to the subfamily as the Microtinae or rank the taxon as a full family, the Arvicolidae.
Microtus is a genus of voles found in North America, Europe and northern Asia. The genus name refers to the small ears of these animals. They are stout rodents with short ears, legs and tails.
