Gerbillus (Hendecapleura) watersi de Winton 1901 View in CoL , Novit. Zool., 8: 399.

Type Locality: Sudan, Upper Nile, Shendi.

Vernacular Names: Waters's Gerbil.

Synonyms: Gerbillus (Hendecapleura) juliani (St. Leger 1935) .

Distribution: Endemic to NE Africa in Sudan, Somalia, and Djibouti.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc) as G. juliani and G. watersi .

Discussion: Subgenus Hendecapleura . Listed both as a subspecies of G. nanus or as a valid species by F. Petter (1975 b) in the same report. The species should be considered distinct until revisionary studies advise otherwise ( Lay, 1983). Roche and Petter (1968) reviewed juliani under Monodia , but F. Petter (1975 b) later synonymized it with G. watersi without supporting evidence. Roche (1975) provided evidence for uniting juliani with G. watersi , an action endorsed by Pavlinov et al. (1990). Lay (1983), however, recognized juliani as valid pending revision of the genus. Pearch et al. (2001) documented records from Djibouti, provided a good description of the species, comparing it with G. henleyi from the same country. Reviewed by Pavlinov et al. (1990).
