Treatment

Beamys hindei Thomas 1909 , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 4: 108.

Type Locality: Kenya, Coast Prov., Taveta.

Vernacular Names: Hinde's Pouched Rat.

Distribution: SE Kenya and E Tanzania ( FitzGibbon et al., 1995:Fig. 1).

Conservation: IUCN – Vulnerable.

Discussion: Karyotype reported (2n = 52), distribution amplified, and natural history discussed by FitzGibbon et al. (1995); univariate analyses with small sample sizes suggest clinal variation along coastal Tanzania, not the existence of two species, but the matter of synonymy was left as inconclusive.
