Distribution. - Shiraz is located outside the known range of social voles - as already noti- ced by Thomas (in Cheesman 1921). Although our understan- ding of Iranian mammals has increased considerably since then (compare Lay 1967), a 500 km gap still separates Shiraz from the nearest known occurrence of M. cfr. irani at Al'igüdarz, Lurestan (Fig. 5). In conclusion, the type series of M irani morphologically dif- fers from that of M. cfr. irani voles living in Iran and Turkey. The characteristics considered are a longer tail, more expanded zygomatic arches, narrow bullae, and a strong alveolar process with.
