TheBalkan snow vole(Dinaromys bogdanovi), also known asMartino's snow vole,is theonly memberof thegenusDinaromys.Eightsubspeciesof thisvolehave been recognized from southern parts ofEurope,although in 2022 this number was reduced to two subspecies.[2]The genus name means "Dinaric mouse", referring to theDinaric Alps.The Balkan snow vole is aliving fossil,the only living species in the tribePliomyini,and might arguably better be placed inPliomys,a genus established for itsfossilrelatives even before the Balkan snow vole was scientifically described. It was described by husband and wife mammalogists Vladimir Emmanuilovich Martino and Evgeniya Veniaminovna Martino.[3]
A 2021 study foundDinaromys(and by extension, the rest of Pliomyini) to be the sister group to the tribeEllobiusini,from which it diverged during the lateMiocene;however, this still remains uncertain.[4]
The subspeciesD. d. longipediswas recognized as a distinct species by theAmerican Society of MammalogistsasDinaromys longipedis;it is found in the northwestern part of this species's range.[5]
