Description
Summary:Gerbillus bottai Lataste, 1882. Le Naturaliste, 4(5): 36. TYPE LOCALITY: Sudan, Sennar. DISTRIBUTION: Sudan; Kenya. COMMENT: Includes harwoodi and luteolus; see Kock, 1978, Bull. Carnegie Mus. Nat. Hist., 6:31-37. Petter, 1975, Part 6.3:10- 11, considered harwoodi a distinct species and included luteolus in campestris. This species is a composite; the holotype of harwoodi has no accessory tympanum, whereas that of luteolus has an accessory tympanum, thus harwoodi and luteolus are regarded as distinct pending revision (DML). Roche, 1975, Monitore Zool. Ital., suppl. 6:263-268, considered harwoodi as probably distinct from pusillus. DML includes this species in genus Dipodillus; but see comment under Gerbillus.
