Tatera boehmi (Noack, 1887) View in CoL . Zool. Jahrb. Syst., 2:241.

TYPE LOCALITY: Zaire, Marunga, Qua Mpala .

DISTRIBUTION: Angola, S Zaire, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda.

SYNONYMS: bohmi, fallax , fraterculus , varia .

COMMENTS: Subgenus Gerbilliscus . Revised by Bates (1988). The type locality is in S Zaire ( Ansell, 1978), although it has been also identified as N Zambia ( Allen, 1939; Bates, 1988). The double-grooved incisors and fringed, white-tipped tail in this species are unique among species of Tatera , thus its allocation to a separate subgenus.
