 Comments
       
  Comment: Status: IUCN - Endangered  
    Comments: Based on mitochondrial and nuclear genetic data (Suzuki et al., 1997), there are at least two distinct populations of G. japonicus that may represent separate species. Unpublished morphological and behavioral differences were also cited. External genital morphology and its taxonomic significance were examined by Rossolimo and Pavlinov (1985). Chromosomal study provided by Tsuchiya (1979). Analysis of nest materials as indication of foraging behavior reported by Minato and Doei (1995). Inclu...
