Based on morphology, Peruvian species of <em>Psectrascelis</em> form a monophyletic group named here <em>laevigata</em> group and constitute a well-characterized species-group inside the genus. This group comprises 11 species/subspecies, out of which six are described as new: <em>Psectrascelis sacratus</em> Giraldo &amp; Flores sp. nov., <em>Psectrascelis claudiavelizae</em> Giraldo &amp; Flores sp. nov., <em>Psectrascelis laevigata huayruro</em> Giraldo &amp; Flores ssp. nov., <em>Psectrascelis yanatulti</em> Giraldo &amp; Flores sp. nov., <em>Psectrascelis chankas</em> Giraldo &amp; Flores sp. nov., and <em>Psectrascelis altiplanicus</em> Giraldo &amp; Flores sp. nov.

However, Middle East BMRs are currently referred to under a single species name (<em>Nannospalax ehrenbergi</em>) due to unresolved taxonomic issues. However, Middle East BMR populations in the Anatolian Peninsula, a global hotspot of diversity of <em>Nannospalax</em>, have not been extensively investigated in previous studies. In this study, all chromosome races and almost all populations of Middle East BMRs were examined comparatively for the first time. With an integrative taxonomic perspective, particularly based on morphology, karyology, and molecular genetics (<em>cytb</em> and <em>COI</em> fragments), we have revealed new findings on the taxonomic status and distribution of Middle East BMR species. We excluded <em>Nannospalax ehrenbergi</em> s. str. from the Anatolian Peninsula, and the name <em>Nannospalax ehrenbergi</em> was attributed to the populations immediately surrounding the type locality and to the Israeli and Palestinian populations. <em>Nannospalax intermedius</em> and <em>Nannospalax ceyhanus</em>, identified to the Southeastern Anatolian BMR populations and considered synonyms of <em>Nannospalax ehrenbergi</em> s. str. in previous studies, are recognized as valid biological species independent from <em>Nannospalax ehrenbergi</em>. In addition to these species, three new cryptic species were identified for the Anatolian Peninsula BMR populations, based primarily on mitochondrial DNA sequence differences: <strong><em>Nannospalax</em> <em>karyominor</em></strong> sp. nov. from Hatay (Yayladağ); <strong><em>Nannospalax</em> <em>garzanensis</em></strong> sp. nov., from Diyarbakır, Siirt, and Batman; and <strong><em>Nannospalax</em> <em>colaki</em></strong> sp. nov. from Gaziantep and Kilis.
