Özet

In this study, 272 specimens of Allactaga collected from various areas of Turkey were compared based on morphological, cranial, external, karyological, ethological and biological characters. A. euphratica and A. williamsi were found to be two separate taxa. The lack of intermediation among characters examined supported the concept that A. euphratica and A. williamsi were different species, rather than two subspecies of the same species.
