Acomys percivali Dollman, 1911 View in CoL . Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 8:126.

TYPE LOCALITY: Kenya, Chanler Falls, Nyiro .

DISTRIBUTION: S Sudan (E of White Nile), Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, and S Somalia.

COMMENTS: Subgenus Acomys . Treated as a synonym of kempi , which in turn was included within A. cahirinus by Setzer (1975). However, Hollister (1919) treated percivali as a species based on many specimens, as did Ellerman (1941). Both Matthey (1968) and Hubert (1978b) identified specimens from Ethiopia as A. percivali . Petter (1983) acknowledged the specific status of percivali as did Neal (1983). Janecek et al. (1991) regarded percivali as the species genically most closely related to A. wilsoni .
