TYPE LOCALITY: Zaire, Marunga, Qua Mpala .

DISTRIBUTION: Angola, S Zaire, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda.

SYNONYMS: bohmi, fallax, fraterculus, varia .

COMMENTS: Subgenus Gerbilliscus . Revised by Bates (1988). The type locality is in S Zaire (Ansell, 1978), although it has been also identified as N Zambia (Allen, 1939; Bates, 1988). The double-grooved incisors and fringed, white-tipped tail in this species are unique among species of Tatera, thus its allocation to a separate subgenus.
