Dipodillus (Dipodillus) zakariai Cockrum, Vaughn, and Vaughn` 1976 View in CoL
Dipodillus (Dipodillus) zakariai Cockrum, Vaughn, and Vaughn` 1976 View in CoL , Mammalia, 40: 320.
Type Locality: N Africa, Tunisia, Kerkennah Isls, 0.5 km E Kellabine, about 42 km east of Sfax, Tunisia.
Vernacular Names: Kerkennah Islands Dipodil.
Distribution: Recorded only from the Kerkennah Isls, off the Tunisian coast opposite the coastal city of Sfax.
Discussion: Subgenus Dipodillus . Lay (1983) included zakariai in D. simoni but provided no reasons for doing so. Pavlinov et al. (1990) recognized it as a species. Cockrum et al. (1976 a) provided adequate morphological data to support the hypothesis that zakariai is an insular species related to mainland D. simoni .
