Ellobius is a genus of rodents in the family Cricetidae.[1] It contains two (E. lutescens and E. tancrei) of the handful of examples of mammal species that have lost the Y chromosome.[2]
The genus has the following species:
- Alai mole vole (Ellobius alaicus)
- Northern mole vole (Ellobius talpinus)
- Zaisan mole vole (Ellobius tancrei)
Two members of this genus were moved to the genus Bramus:
- Southern mole vole (Bramus fuscocapillus)
