In Japan, the distribution range of Clethrinomys has long been believed to be limited to Hokkaido and the northern part of Honshu. In 1960, Imaizumi recorded the existence of a vole of this genus in the southernmost part of Kii Peninsula, and E. W. Jameson JR., in 1961, surveyed the locality and reported that the vole belonged to a new species, Clethrionomys imaizumii. The author doubted on the validity of this new species and re-examined specimens in his own collection. By thorough comparison of these specimens with those of other districts, he failed to find any notable difference among them. But the locality is distinctive and this is the very reason to separate the Kii Peninsula vole from that of other districts. At this stage of investigation, the vole of this new locality should be classified under the subspecies name Clethrionomys andersoni imaizumiii JAMESON.
