The Pamir pine vole (Pitymys juldaschi (Severtzov, 1879)) is an animal of the genus Pitymys of the family Cricetidae. The species is native to the shore of Karakul Lake in Kashgar, my country, and belongs to the subfamily Arvicolinae. The classification is quite confusing. It was previously included in the genus Pitymys for a long time, but recent studies have shown that it belongs to the genus <Blanformys>. However, the genus <Blanformys> was once a subgenus of the genus Microtus. Liu Shaoying et al. classified it as an independent genus (Liu et al., 2012, 2017). The results of molecular biological studies based on mitochondrial genes and a small number of nuclear genes are inconsistent, and the final status awaits the study of a large number of nuclear genes. It is temporarily included in the genus <Blanformys>.
Listed in the 2013 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species ver3.1—Low Risk (LC).
