The southern red-backed vole or Gapper's red-backed vole (Clethrionomys gapperi) is a small slender vole found in Canada and the northern United States.It is closely related to the western red-backed vole (Clethrionomys californius), which lives to the south and west of its range and which is less red with a less sharply bicolored tail.
At the same time, several species were moved to the genus Craseomys, so members of both genera are referred to as red-backed voles.

Some authors cite the taxonomic authority as "Gistel, 1850", whereas others still use "Tilesius, 1850". [4]
