Xerini is a tribe of ground squirrels occurring in Africa and Asia. With the tribes Marmotini (Holarctic ground squirrels) and Protoxerini (African tree squirrels), they form the subfamily Xerinae. There are three living genera—''Xerus'', the African ground squirrels; ''Atlantoxerus'', containing the living Barbary ground squirrel of North Africa and some extinct species; and ''Spermophilopsis'', containing the long-clawed ground squirrel of Central Asia. ==Species== Tribe Xerini *Genus ''Atlantoxerus'' * *Barbary Ground Squirrel, ''Atlantoxerus getulus'' *Genus ''Xerus'' * *Subgenus ''Euxerus'' * * *Striped Ground Squirrel, ''Xerus erythropus'' * *Subgenus ''Geosciurus'' * * *Cape Ground Squirrel, ''Xerus inauris'' * * *Mountain Ground Squirrel, ''Xerus princeps'' * *Subgenus ''Xerus'' * * *Unstriped Ground Squirrel, ''Xerus rutilus'' *Genus ''Spermophilopsis'' * *Long-clawed Ground Squirrel, ''Spermophilopsis leptodactylus'' 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「Xerini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
