Abstract
This study confi rms the odontometrical divergence of the fi rst lower molar in the Gerbe’s vole Microtus (Terricola) pyrenaicus gerbei in comparison with the Pyrenean vole M. pyreneaicus pyrenaicus as well as the interest of genetic analyses to resolve its systematic position with regard to Microtus (Terricola) pyrenaicus.
