It is found in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, and Turkey.
Chromosomes

Female E. lutescens metaphase chromosome set
The karyotype has a low, odd, diploid number, 2n = 17,X.[3] Transcaucasian mole voles have no SRY gene or Y chromosome; both sexes have an XO sex chromosome set, a state possibly derived from an ancestral population in which males had an XX sex chromosome set, like E. tancrei.[2] Their sex-determination method remains unknown.[3]
