Kretzoi, M.: New names for arvicolid homonyms
New Names for Arvicolid Homonyms By M. KRETZOI, Budapest Preparing a monograph of the fossil Arvicolidae, it seemed necessary to compile the synonymy of the recent and fossil forms belonging or referred to this family. Among the names (exceeding 1100, without names by error and of superspecific categories) hitherto 39 proved nomenclatorical and 24 taxonomical homonyms. Four of these 73 homonyms cover valid taxonomic units and must be replaced by new names. These are : 1. Arvicola (Evotomys) intermedius Newton 1881 (nee Arvicola intermedius Bonaparte 1845), replaced here by Mimomys milleri n. nom. (Type : right mandibular ramus with teeth ; Upper Freshwater Bed of West Runton, Norfolk, Late Lower Pleistocene). 2. Arvicola austerus minor Merriam 1888 (nec Arvicola spelaeus minor Münster 1833, nec Arvicola amphibius var. minor de Sélys Longchamps 1845), replaced by Microtus (Pedomys) ochrogaster merriami n. nom. (Type: "from Bottineau, at base of Turtle Mts , Bottineau Co., North Dakota"). 3. Clethrionomys hintoni Kormos 1934 (nec Evotomys rutilus hintoni Vinogradov 1933), replaced by Clethrionomys hintonianus n. nom. (Type : left mandibular ramus with M l —M 2 , Nagyharsányhegy, S. Hungary, Late Lower Pleistocene). 4. Clethrionomys solus Kretzoi 1956 (nec Clethrionomys gapperi solus Hall et Cockrum 1952) ,replaced by Clethrionomys intrans n. nom. (Type : M L , Villány, Loi. 5. S. Hungary, Basal Pleistocene). 12 further nomenclatorical synonyms covering valid systematic units, had been changed by subsequent authors. These are the followings : 1. Arvicola riparia Yarrell 1832 (nec Arvicola riparius Ord 1825), replaced by Evotomys hercynicus britannicus Miller 1900. 2. Arvicola (Microtus) selysii Gerbe 1852 (nec Arvicola selysii Bonaparte 1845), replaced by Pitymys druentium Miller 1911. 3. Arvicola ambiguus Hensel 1855 (nec Arvicola ambiguus Pomel 1852), replaced by Arvicola (Tyrrhenicola) henseli Major 1905. 4. Arvicola rufocanus var. kamtschaticus Lataste 1884 (nec Arvicola kamtschaticus Poliakov 1881), replaced by Evotomys (Craseomys) latastei Allen 1903. 5. Microtus californicus neglectus Kellogg 1918 (nec Microtus agrestis neglectus Ognev 1913), replaced by Microtus californicus sanctidiegi Kellogg 1922. 6. Microtus (Arbusticola) rubelianus intermedius Shidlovsky 1919 [nec Microtus (Lagurus) intermedius Taylor 1911), replaced by Pitymys majori suramensis Heptner 1948. 7. Chionomys socialis satunini Ognev 1924 [nec Microtus (Chionomys) nivalis satunini Shidlovsky 1919], replaced by Microtus socialis binominatus Ellermann 1941. 8.
