Spermophilus
Spermophilus (Graece σπέρμα 'semen' + φίλος 'amator') est genus parvorum mammalium familiae Sciuridarum ordinis Rodentium. Generi secundum traditionem erant permultae species, quae per Europam, Asiam, et Americam Septentrionalem vagabantur, sed haec taxinomia paraphyletica est, quia Cynomys, Marmota, et Ammospermophilus certe sunt taxa distincta. Ergo, omnes species olim generi Spermophilo in America Septentrionali tributae in alia genera nuper digeruntur, ut species Europaeae et Asianae veri Spermophili maneant, duabus Urocitelli speciebus Asianis exceptis.

Species exstantes 
 Spermophilus sensu stricto
 Spermophilus alashanicus
 Spermophilus brevicauda
 Spermophilus citellus
 Spermophilus dauricus
 Spermophilus erythrogenys
 Spermophilus fulvus
 Spermophilus major
 Spermophilus musicus
 Spermophilus nilkaensis
 Spermophilus pallidicauda
 Spermophilus pygmaeus
 Spermophilus ralli
 Spermophilus relictus
 Spermophilus suslicus
 Spermophilus taurensis
 Spermophilus xanthoprymnus

Inter species praehistoricas erant
 †Spermophilus nogaici
 †Spermophilus polonicus
 †Spermophilus primigenius

Praeterea, Spermophilus citelloides, ex Pleistocaeno medio et primo Holocaeno Europae, cum Spermophilo suslico vivo artissime coniungi videtur.
