discussion
Discussion: A smaller-bodied Calomyscus (Vorontsov et al., 1979) that was described as a species but later arranged as a subspecies of C. bailwardi, including mystax as a synonym (Corbet, 1978 c; Ellerman, 1941, 1961; Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951). Based on size, C. hotsoni is allied with C. mystax and C. elburzensis of S Turkmenistan, NW Afghanistan, and NE Iraq, not with the larger-bodied C. baluchi that occurs to the north in W Pakistan. Affinities of C. hotsoni uncertain and karyotype undocumented.
