Ellobius is a genus of rodents in the family Cricetidae.[1] It is the only member of the tribe Ellobiusini.[2] It contains two (E. lutescens and E. tancrei) of the handful of examples of mammal species that have lost the Y chromosome.[3]
The genus has the following species:
- Alai mole vole (Ellobius alaicus)
- Southern mole vole (Ellobius fuscocapillus)
- Transcaucasian mole vole (Ellobius lutescens)
- Northern mole vole (Ellobius talpinus)
- Zaisan mole vole (Ellobius tancrei)
