''Otospermophilus'' is a genus of ground squirrels in the family Sciuridae, containing three species. ''Otospermophilus'' was formerly placed in the large ground squirrel genus ''Spermophilus'', as a subgenus or species group. Since DNA sequencing of the cytochrome ''b'' gene has shown ''Spermophilus'' to be paraphyletic to the prairie dogs and marmots, it is now separated, along with six other genera. == Species == The three species in ''Otospermophilus'' are listed below. These are the same species that were previously grouped in the subgenus ''Otospermophilus''.〔 : * Rock squirrel, ''Otospermophilus variegatus'' : * California ground squirrel, ''Otospermophilus beecheyi'' : * Baja California rock squirrel, ''Otospermophilus atricapillus'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Otospermophilus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
