Dasymys cabrali W. Verheyen, Hulselmans, Dierckx, Colyn, Leirs, and E. Verheyen 2003

Dasymys cabrali W. Verheyen, Hulselmans, Dierckx, Colyn, Leirs, and E. Verheyen 2003, Bull. Inst. Roy. Sci. Nat. Belg., Biol., 73: 39.

Type Locality: NE Namibia, Groot Fontein Dist., near the Okavango River (Omatoka Junction), 1080 m (17°56’S, 20°25’E, as per W. Verheyen et al., 2003).

Vernacular Names: Crawford-Cabral's Dasymys.

Distribution: Apparently endemic to the Okavango Basin (W. Verheyen et al., 2003). The only specimens explicitly assigned to D. cabrali come from the type locality and Caprivi Strip of NW Namibia, but records from SE Angola (Crawford-Cabral, 1998), SW Zambia (Ansell, 1978), and N Botswana (Smithers, 1971) possibly represent this species.
