The relict ground squirrel (Spermophilus relictus) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. It is found in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. It is thought to be synonymous with Spermophilus ralli, whose name was formerly used for the Tian Shan ground squirrel (S. nilkaensis).

discussion
Discussion: This species is usually included in S. relictus as an allopatric subspecies, but molecular sequence data indicate that the two taxa are separate (Harrison et al., 2003). Kuznetsov’s name is regarded as having priority over ralli (Heptner, 1948; a replacement name for pygmaeus arenicola; and thus preoccupied), but Pavlinov and Rossolimo (1987) indicated that Kuznetsov (1948) might not have been published in May, but later, in July-August, while pygmaeus ralli was published in May, 1948. If so, Kuznetsov, 1948 is preoccupied.
