摘　　要：To help resolve the systematic position of Myospalacine(zokors)and to clarify the phylogenetic relationships among zokor species,complete mitochondrial 12S rRNA and cytochrome b gene sequences were determined for seven zokor species from China.Phylogenetic relationships among all extant zokors,except the Siberian zokor(Myospalax myospalax)and Smith’s zokor(Eospalax smithi),were reconstructed with the Chinese bamboo rat(Rhizomys sinensis)as an outgroup.Our results support the generic status of Eospalax and also support the validity of the specific status of Eospalax cansus,Eospalax baileyi and Eospalax rufescens.
