Résumé
It is known, that the complex standard criteria allowing to differentiate separate species in some belief is traditionally used in systematics (Zavadsky, 1968). Morphological, physiological, ecological, ethological and geographical types of taxonomic characters correspond to these criteria (Mayr, 1971). The set of used criteria or types of characters depends on specificity of investigates group of organisms. Morphological characters (variations of coloration, the size and proportions of body, a complex of craniological attributes) always played the main role in the development of systematics of marmots of « bobak » group and other representative.
