Even though the Siberian chipmunk normally grows to 50–150 g (1.8–5.3 oz).

[4] Its small size may contribute to its relatively short life from two to five years in the wild.

The genus Tamias was formerly divided into three subgenera that, in sum, included all chipmunk species: Tamias, the eastern chipmunk and other fossil species; Eutamias, of which the Siberian chipmunk (E. sibiricus) is the only living member; and Neotamias, which includes the 23 remaining, mostly western ...
Eutamias is a genus of chipmunks within the tribe Marmotini of the squirrel family. It includes a single living species, the Siberian chipmunk ( Eutamias sibiricus ). The genus is often treated as a subgenus of Tamias , which is now restricted to the eastern chipmunk of North America. [ 1 ]
