Treatment

Lophuromys woosnami Thomas, 1906 View in CoL . Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 18:146.

TYPE LOCALITY: Uganda, Ruwenzori East, Mubuku Valley, 6000 ft .

DISTRIBUTION: E Zaire, W Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi; a montane Western Rift endemic.

SYNONYMS: prittiei.

COMMENTS: Subgenus Kivumys . The impressive genic differences between this species and L. flavopunctatus prompted Verheyen et al. (1986) to suggest that the two may belong in different subgenera, reflecting Dieterlen's (1976b) earlier conclusion based on morphology. Chromosomal data for sample from Burundi were reported by Maddalena et al. (1989).
