Treatment

Mus (Nannomys) orangiae Roberts 1926 , Ann. Transvaal Mus ., 11: 251.

Type Locality: South Africa, N Free State, Kruisementifontein, Viljoensdrift, near Vereeniging.

Vernacular Names: Orange Mouse.

Distribution: South Africa; N Free State ( Vermeiren and Verheyen, 1983).

Conservation: IUCN – Least Concern.

Discussion: Subgenus Nannomys . Either treated as a species possibly allied to M. setzeri ( Vermeiren and Verheyen, 1983) or listed as a subspecies of M. minutoides ( Meester et al., 1986; Skinner and Smithers, 1990). The definition of this form and its phylogenetic relationship to other southern African species require resolution.
