Grammomys minnae Hutterer and Dieterlen 1984 , Stuttg. Beitr. Naturk., ser. A, 374: 10.

Type Locality: S Ethiopia, Sidamo Province, edge of Bulcha Forest, 1800 m.

Vernacular Names: Ethiopian Grammomys.

Distribution: S Ethiopia; limits unknown.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Recorded only from two localities. About the same body size as G. dolichurus and G. macmillani but has a very different karyotype (2n = 32, FN = 64; 2n = 52, FN = 66 in G. dolichurus and 2n = 68-76 in G. macmillani ). Reviewed as an Ethiopian endemic by Yalden and Largen (1992; also see Yalden et al., 1996).
