Lemniscomys hoogstraali Dieterlen 1991 View in CoL , Bonn. Zool. Beitr., Vol. 42: 11.

Type Locality: Sudan, Upper Nile Prov, Paloich, 12 mi (19 km) N Niayok ( Carleton and Van der Straeten, 1997 provided additional information).

Vernacular Names: Hoogstraal's Lemniscomys.

Distribution: Recorded only from the type locality.

Conservation: IUCN – Data Deficient.

Discussion: Still known only by the holotype. A member of the Lemniscomys barbarus group. Dieterlen (1991) summarized knowledge of this species, and Carleton and Van der Straeten (1997) provided a current review. Its diagnostic dorsal pattern of stripes and large body size relative to L. zebra , which occurs all around it, prompted Carleton and Van der Straeten (1997:667) to retain L. hoogstraali as a distinct species, but they cautioned that "More and larger series must be assembled to rigorously evaluate the characters and status of Dieterlen’s new form, so far known only by the holotype, its condition imperfect.".
