Acomys (Acomys) seurati Heim de Balsac 1936 View in CoL , Bull. Biol. Fr. Belg., 21: 356.

Type Locality: S Algeria, Iniker, A’hagger (Ahaggar Mtns; Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951; Ranck, 1968).

Vernacular Names: Seurat's Spiny Mouse.

Distribution: Recorded only from mountains of S Algeria, in Hoggar, Mouydir and Tassili n’Ajjers (Bates, 1994; Kowalski and Rzebik-Kowalska, 1991).

Discussion: Subgenus Acomys . Described as a species by Heim de Balsac, but listed as a synonym of A. cahirinus by Ellerman and Morrison-Scott (1951) and Musser and Carleton (1993); however, the karyotype is different (2n = 38, FN = 68 compared with 2n = 36, FN = 68 for A. cahirinus ) and the two can be distinguished by molar morphology ( Denys et al., 1994:237). Kowalski and Rzebik-Kowalska (1991) provided references to distributional records, ecology, and morphology of the species.
