Genus Mylomys Thomas, 1906 ( Table 7 )

REMARKS

The genus was created for Mylomys cunninghami Thomas, 1906 from Kenya, but a later revision placed it in synonymy with Mylomys dybowskii Pousargues, 1893 ( Central African Republic). In West Africa the species is found in Guinea ( Gautun et al. 1986), Côte d’Ivoire (Heim de Balsac 1967) and Ghana ( Rosevear 1969). At Mount Nimba, the species was mentioned by Gautun et al. (1986) who collected a single specimen in high altitude savanna on the Guinean side. We were unable to trap any new specimens during our surveys.
